What Is the Bible Basically About?

Anyone Else Excited!?

Coming November 2010.

Have theologically conservative evangelicals over-reacted to the "social gospel only" views of many mainline denominations? Tim Keller seems to think we have. The argument that a "purely social gospel is no gospel at all" has never necessitated a view that strips us from responsibilities Jesus laid on his people to serve those in need. I'm excited to announce that Tim Keller addresses this issue head on in his upcoming book Generous Justice. He also seeks to establish the link between modern understandings of general welfare and the Bible as their foundation.

Free Tim Keller Sermons

Redeemer Presbyterian Church has done the Christian church a favor by making many of Tim Keller's sermons available online for free. I know I'll be spending some time downloading many, if not all, of them. Ha! Here's Redeemer's reasoning for making these sermons available for free to anyone and everyone.

"Redeemer’s Sermon Ministry has been faithfully recording, cataloging and reproducing all of our sermons for the past 20 years. To celebrate all 20 years of our history, and to meet the growing demand for our church’s teaching in New York City and around the world, we have created this resource of 150 sermons and lectures covering a broad array of topics, completely free to download and share.

The recordings chosen for the Free Sermon Resource were culled from classic sermon series as well as lectures and seminar addresses delivered to various Redeemer ministry gatherings, and are intended to present to the listener the full scope of teachings they would receive over several years of active involvement at Redeemer."

If you are not familiar with Tim Keller is, here is a brief intro. He is the pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. Mr. Keller also co-founded The Gospel Coalition. In addition, he is also the author of best-selling The Reason for God, The Prodigal God, and his brand new book, Counterfeit Gods. I would highly recommend them all to you.
