Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
We live in an age of skepticism. 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 new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.
At head of title: Redeemer.
Includes bibliographical references (page 257-327).
The faith of the secular -- Why does anyone need religion? Isn't religion going away? ; Isn't religion based on faith and secularism on evidence? -- Religion is more than you think it is. A meaning that suffering can't take from you ; A satisfaction that is not based on circumstances ; Why can't I be free to live as I see fit, as long as I don't harm anyone? ; The problem of the self ; An identity that doesn't crush you or exclude others ; A hope that can face anything ; The problem or morals ; A justice that does not create new oppressors -- Christianity makes sense. Is it reasonable to believe in God? ; Is it reasonable to believe in Christianity? ; Only in God.
