The Reason for God

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's certainly the best Christian apologetic I've ever read. There's little doubt that the reason I feel this way is in large part due to me being a presuppositionalist, too.

If you watch the video, you'll get a nice intro and a better summary of the book and Keller's overall approach than I have the attention span to do here. "Confident and humble" is a good description and a theme that repeats several times in the book.

Keller admits when the arguments are less than completely satisfying (as no argument about theodicy can be, for instance), but does not shy away from being quite forceful when the arguments are strong. He takes on tough issues like theodicy and Christianity's claim to exclusivity.

Keller means for this book to be a modern Mere Christianity . He believes C. S. Lewis' arguments from the 1940's don't resonate with our post-post-modern culture. I think he has succeeded and that this book should be considered on a par with Lewis' classic.
