Making Sense of God - Timothy Keller

This volume begins by addressing the objections; "Doesn't religion call for leaps of blind faith in an age of science, reason and technology? & Surely fewer and fewer people will feel the need for religion and it will die out." Challenging both the assumption that the world is getting more secular and the belief that secular, nonreligious people are basing their view of life mainly on reason. He goes on to compare and contrast how Christianity and secularism seek to provide meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, a moral compass, and hope - all things so crucial that we cannot live life without them. He argues that Christianity makes the most emotional and cultural sense, that it explains these life issues in the most trenchant ways, and that it gives us unsurpassed resources for meeting these inescapable needs. "If you think Christianity doesn't hold much promise of making sense to a thinking person, then this book is written for you."
