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.

"Pastor and 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, the author shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives. Timothy Keller was educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. In 1989 he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Today, Redeemer has nearly six thousand regular Sunday attendees and has helped to start more than three hundred new churches around the world. He is the author of The Songs of Jesus, Preaching, Prayer, Encounters with Jesus, Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering, Every Good Endeavor, The Meaning of Marriage, The Reason for God and The Prodigal God.
