Tim Keller @Google

Here, Tim Keller presents his arguments for belief in God at Google last year.  This is an excellent thing to watch, and it is amazing to listen to someone so esteemed and researched.  I recommend his book also which goes further into this content, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism.


Tim Keller speaking at Stanford

Tim Keller did a speaking tour a little while back, in which he discussed his book The Reason for God (which is superb). Below is a video of one such session at Stanford University. Also below is the Q&A session, which is especially good. For all the other sessions, you can go to the Veritas Forum website and click to Tim Keller's page. For other Tim Keller related media, there is this page devoted to providing all the links.



Q&A:

How is going to Hell fair?

Tim Keller gives a great answer:

We run from the presence of God and therefore God actively gives us up to our desire (Romans 1:24, 26.) Hell is therefore a prison in which the doors are first locked from the inside by us and therefore are locked from the outside by God (Luke 16:26.) Every indication is that those doors continue to stay forever barred from the inside. Though every knee and tongue in hell knows that Jesus is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11,) no one can seek or want that Lordship without the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3.This is why we can say that no one goes to hell who does not choose both to go and to stay there. What could be more fair than that?

Tim Keller on Predestination
