Terry Virgo announced today that Tim Keller will be addressing Newfrontiers leaders in February. He also includes an interview he did with Keller as a bonus. Here is Keller’s response to being asked about his approach to apologetics in his book The Reason for God:

Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers. Almost always they are not careful and respectful enough of non-Christians’ concerns to be plausible at all. One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: ‘I’m not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I’ve read by a Christian that didn’t treat me like I was an idiot.’ The book is nothing but a distillation of how we converse with non-believers in NYC. The fact that you consider it ‘unusual’ shows that we aren’t very adept at connecting with such folks.

Feel free to check out the whole interview. Keller talks about engaging culture, people who have influenced his ministry, how he came to New York City, his church, and evangelizing New Yorkers.
