In one word, AWESOME! If you are a skeptic searching for viable answers to your searching about Jesus and the existence of God I implore you to read this book. If you are a Christian of any age then this book is one you have to read.
Keller gives foundational thought to many skeptical questions. He spends the first half of the book giving an apologetic for the Christian faith and the existence of God based upon questions he has received of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York. He deals with creationism, the issue of suffering, God's judgment, and others. In the last half of the book he gives a polemic for those who would like more information about the Christian faith. He drives to the core of the issues of the belief system of Jesus.
Keller cites C.S. Lewis heavily along with Jonathan Edwards. He also counteracts many liberal scholars thought processes.
I would recommend this book for anyone whether they are a Christian or not.
