The Reason for God John Tung, Cliff Soon Room B-11/13 “The Church Is Responsible for So Much Injustice!” “How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?” “Science Has Disproved Christianity!” “You Can’t Take the Bible Literally!” These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. In this class, we will be using the book The Reason for God, by Timothy Keller, founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC, who addresses the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to him as well as the most important reasons for our faith. Using this book, we will discuss these questions and examine the alternatives to Christianity. The purpose of this study is to understand the reasons for our faith and be able to humbly, but intelligently, answer some of the most voiced doubts about it. In doing so we hope to gain a better appreciation of our faith and our God. The class schedule is below. It is highly recommended you read the relevant chapter prior to the class that Sun. If you need to buy a copy of the book, they are available in the church Bookstore (inside the church Library in the Visitor’s Lounge on the 1st floor).
