We live in an age of scepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it's easy to wonder: why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites sceptics to consider that Christianity is as relevant now as ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice and hope - and Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet all these needs. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Klappentext

Is it really reasonable to believe in Christianity?
Challenging the assumption that religion is irrelevant in a world where empirical proof is the basis of our reasonings, Timothy Keller, author of New York Times bestseller The Reason for God reverses the question:
Isn't secular thinking just another set of beliefs?

Keller puts secularism under the intellectual scrutiny that is usually applied to religion. With a compelling knowledge of the secular belief system and a clarity of logic, Keller opens a conversation between writers such as Nietzsche or C.S. Lewis to reflect on meaning, hope, freedom, satisfaction, identity and justice.

'If you think Christianity doesn't hold much promise of making sense to a thinking person, then this book is written for you.' Timothy Keller

Keller does not aim to prove God's existence, but his methodical approach powerfully calls into question the basis of many commonly held secular views. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound relevance of Christianity in our modern lives.
