Susan Wunderink from Christianity Today interviews Tim Keller on his book “The Reason for God” and how he approaches doubts that people raise about Christianity:

“Tim Keller, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan and cofounder of the Gospel Coalition, is behind some of the most ambitious — if not the most radical — efforts to reach urban professionals. Now he’s expanding his ministry in book form, with the publication of The Reason for God, which moved its way up to number seven on The New York Times nonfiction bestseller list.

Keller’s book tour, hosted by the Veritas Forum, has attracted 6,000 attendees to universities around the country. Many readers are saying that the book provides satisfying answers to the questions that churched and unchurched people commonly raise about Christianity. CT assistant editor Susan Wunderink sat down with Keller as he passed through Chicago.”

Here are some of the questions Keller answers:

  1. Are the doubts that believers face the same doubts that unbelievers face?
  2. Why have you avoided using arguments from intelligent design in your apologetics?
  3. Do you hear a lot of “I can’t believe in Christianity because I believe in science”?
  4. The recent Pew study talked about changing patterns of belief in America. Has that affected your apologetics ministry?
