The Reason for God Discussion Group…
…will be the first and third TUESDAY of the month at the Plaza-Midwood public library (corner of Central and Plaza, adjacent to Uptown) from 7-9 p.m. [NOTE: Tues., June 17th's discussion is postponed due to a scheduling conflict. Our next discussion will be Tues. July 1st]
Please note: although this is a Redeemer City Church sponsored event, we are casting a wide net in the city, opening the discussion to skeptics, doubters, seekers, atheists and agnostics as well as Christians of all theological stripes. Please spread the word (if you’re a Christian, bring a friend who isn’t. The converse is also true: If you’re not a Christian, bring a friend who is!)
Please let me know if you’d like to participate. There will be coffee and snacks available. In the meantime, read the book!
UPDATE: If you’re considering joining the discussion, read the following helpful info. below from Penguin publishers (The Reason for God):
When you read books that make a case for believing in God, you quickly get the feeling that they are written primarily for those who already believe. The authors of such books tend to gloss over the hardest questions about God. Timothy Keller is different. Not only does he not shy away from the hard questions, he addresses them with the seriousness they deserve. And while The Reason for God can and should be read to great benefit by believers, it’s a valuable resource for skeptics. Keller speaks to serious doubters, agnostics, and atheists with the same respect he would show to members of his Manhattan church. The Reason for God is worthwhile reading for believers who seek a more reasonable basis for Christian faith, and for nonbelievers who are open to reasoned arguments in favor of God’s existence. This reader’s guide will help you explore some of the questions — and the corresponding defenses of God’s existence — that you will find in The Reason for God. The discussion questions that follow are designed to be used in a group setting, with two or more people who are reading Keller’s book. Discussing with other readers your own questions and your reactions to Keller’s arguments will stimulate further reflection and will lead to new insights. Since most of the reader’s guide questions grow out of the book’s content, this guide will be most useful to book clubs and reading groups that meet for periodic discussions as they read the book.
