Is The Reason for God this Generation’s Mere Christianity?
I recently finished reading Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. Although it was not what I expected, I thought the book was fantastic.
I was reminded of how influential Mere Christianity and More Than a Carpenter were early in my own life as a believer. I wonder if Keller’s book could become the Mere Christianity of this (and future) generation. I think Keller does a good job presenting Christ at a time when relativism and postmodern thought are so pervasive. I could be wrong, but I don’t think More Than a Carpenter would be as influential if it were published today (at least not in the United States).
What do you think? Have you read the book? Do different cultures and periods in history require different approaches to apologetics?
Here We Go
Welcome to the new blog. I apologize for the delayed launch–I decided at the last minute to use WordPress for this site and had to migrate it from a different system.
If you’d like to know more about me or this site, you can find some info on the about page. Otherwise, add me to your RSS reader. If you plan to be a regular reader, I ask only 2 things of you: participate and pray.
I can’t believe I just alliterated something. Not a good start.
