Timothy Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. His first pastorate was in Hopewell, Virginia. In 1989 he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. 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 Hidden Christmas, Making Sense of God, The Songs of Jesus, Preaching, and Prayer, as well as The Meaning of Marriage, The Prodigal God, and The Reason for God, among others.
Praise for Timothy Keller and Encounters with Jesus
"Keller's work belongs on the bookshelf of every serious Bible
student. It is not a quick read, but, instead should be savored
like fine wine, one sip at a time to glean the full impact of his
life-changing message." —Examiner
"Keller has mined the gold from these texts of Scripture, and any
Christian is bound to have their minds expanded and hearts stirred,
even if they have read these accounts countless times." —Grace for
Sinners
"Tim Keller's ministry in New York City is leading a generation of
seekers and skeptics toward belief in God. I thank God for him."
—Billy Graham
"Unlike most suburban megachurches, much of Redeemer is remarkably
traditional. What is not traditional is Dr. Keller's skill in
speaking the language of his urbane audience. . . . It's easy to
understand his appeal." —The New York Times
"Reverend Tim Keller [is] a Manhattan institution, one of those
open urban secrets, like your favorite dim sum place, with a
following so ardent and so fast-growing that he has never thought
to advertise." —Newsweek
"The most successful Christian Evangelist in [New York City] . . .
With intellectual, brimstone-free sermons that manage to city Woody
Allen alongside Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Keller draws some
five thousand young followers every Sunday. Church leaders see him
as a model of how to evangelize urban centers across the country,
and Keller has helped 'plant' fifty gospel-based Christian churches
around New York plus another fifty from San Francisco to London."
—New York
"Using literature, philosophy, and pop culture, the author gives
convincing reasons for a strong belief in God. It is refreshing to
read a book that presents a religious view without being overly
critical of the secular side presented in other books." —Library
Journal
"It's a provocative premise, in pursuit of which Keller—known for
drawing cosmopolitan urbanites to his Redeemer Presbyterian Church
in Manhattan—takes on nonbelievers from evolutionary biologists to
the recent rash of atheist authors." —The Boston Globe
