About this listen

 Is it really reasonable to believe in Christianity?
Challenging the assumption that religion is irrelevant in a world where empirical proof is the basis of our reasonings, Timothy Keller, author of New York Times bestseller The Reason for God reverses the question:
Isn't secular thinking just another set of beliefs?

Keller puts secularism under the intellectual scrutiny that is usually applied to religion. With a compelling knowledge of the secular belief system and a clarity of logic, Keller opens a conversation between writers such as Nietzsche or C.S. Lewis to reflect on meaning, hope, freedom, satisfaction, identity and justice.

'If you think Christianity doesn't hold much promise of making sense to a thinking person, then this book is written for you.' Timothy Keller

Keller does not aim to prove God's existence, but his methodical approach powerfully calls into question the basis of many commonly held secular views. Written for both sceptic and believer, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound relevance of Christianity in our modern lives.


'This is the book which convinced me of the truth of Christianity. if you want an overview of the main arguments for the existence of God and the truth of the core of the Christian message, this is a good place to start.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'The first Christian apologetics book I've read that's actually written to (and for) the "intellectually enlightened skeptic." Keller delivers such a blistering critique of secularism that I was shook to my core. This book will make you think a lot.' Goodreads reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Lots of gold nuggets that will leave you mulling it over for days!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Very in-depth book which allows the reader to make their own mind up based on the facts. A must read for everyone who is seeking the truth.' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Over the years, Keller became not just a Christian apologist but a sophisticated critic of secular liberalism, especially its worship of personal autonomy as the highest good.' The Atlantic©2016 Timothy Keller Christian Living Christianity Morality

Critic reviews

This new book from Tim Keller is the follow-up to the hugely successful The Reason for God and particularly addresses those that believe that Christianity lacks any cultural relevance. He tackles their objections, compares Christianity to secularism, and addresses many 'mis-beliefs' that have arisen over what Christianity is, or what Christians believe.
Any book by Timothy Keller is a worthwhile read and this one will not disappoint.... The book certainly makes a lot of sense of mankind in relation to God... well worth a read and a reread.

Answering huge questions in a listener friendly way. Passed onto an atheist friend who then had some faith misconceptions addressed.

Absolutely loved Timothy Keller's 'Making Sense of God'. Intellectually stimulating and well written, this is a great book to read if you're looking to understand more about the Christian faith and why it's perfectly reasonable to believe in God.

A fantastic starting point for people.

This book is an extraordinary bridgehead into the topic of Christian faith. I am a secularist which has seen the limits of agnostic, intellectual reasoning. I feel there's something missing. I came to this book to see "the other side", to see what faith is all about. The book kept me glued to it untill the end, because of the depth of knowledge expressed and because of the excellent recital by Sean Pratt. So far, Sean's reading and intonation has been the best I've heard on Audible, by far.

Listen to this book. It might help you find your faith or it might leave you indifferent. Regardless of where you end up, you would have gained excellent knowledge of how human reasoning and spirit manifest.

Best thoughts to you!

This book has not only helped me to understand myself and the nature of the world, but it has also given me the answer I've been looking all my life (even when I didn't know I was looking for it). If you landed on this page is probably because you are looking for this too. Don't hesitate, this book will open your mind in ways all psychology, philosophy and the modern world promises but can't deliver...

Among the most important books you could ever read
