Very disappointing

Revisado: 05-02-22

I was intrigued by this book’s title and reviews on it and was hoping for a more rigorous and frankly honest examination of the difficult passages in the Old Testament that are had to reconcile with the God we have come to know through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, the author, like many others on this topic, takes a very defensive approach with some pretty contorted defenses that border on obfuscation. To be fair, I don’t know how you can do otherwise if you believe the Old Testament is the word of God - as opposed to a book written by imperfect men - inspired by God but not always getting it right.

Powerful and compelling

Revisado: 04-25-22

In this book, Timothy Keller, in a very thoughtful and respectful manner, explains the foundations of western secular culture and contrasts it with that of Christianity.

While the content is at times intellectually/academically dense, it is worth the effort to forge through it as each chapter yields some great insights into the problems with today’s western secular culture and makes a compelling case for how Christianity when fully understood and practiced offers a better way for each of us and our collective society.

If you are struggling to find meaning in your life and troubled with how increasingly ugly and divisive our secular world is becoming, listen to this book.

I also listened to his book titled “Reasons for God” and highly recommend that one as well.
