Redeemer Pres and Gender Roles
Last week when I was catching up on my Tim Keller sermon downloads I noticed a section of talks on Gender Roles. When I visited Redeemer in 2006 I remember being impressed at all of the female leadership of staff especially … Continue reading
Rob Bell’s “Love Wins” Review, Chapter 3b: The Love of God
A large part of the Rob Bell discussion on the Internet has focused on labels. Is Bell a universalist? Is Bell an evangelical? Is Bell orthodox? I’ll hazard my own label for Bell, he’s part of the emergent church movement … Continue reading
The Singularity of Jesus and his claim for universality
Wrote this as a response to Bont on CiC who wrote a response to Tim Keller’s book “The King’s Cross”. I’ve been preaching through Luke for a couple of years now. I’ve really enjoyed staying with one book for a … Continue reading

Had a good time today spending time with some city center ministry guys. My introduction to city center ministry was through Tim Keller’s work at Redeemer Pres. in NYC and part of me immediately fell in love with it when … Continue reading
Politics and Culture blog post by Tim Keller

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Self-righteousness
One of my favorite Tim Keller sermons is one on Romans 7 entitled Splitness where he makes extensive use of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Here is the part of the book … Continue reading
Is the Tower of Babel story an urban vs. nature story?
This is from a discussion on CRC-Voices that wandered into the urban vs. rural conflict. Are cities evil? Keller got mentioned so that’s how he got into the argument. Keller inherits the urban ministry work done by Westminster East and … Continue reading

What helps me to NOT believe the world is flat
I wrote this for a friend at Calvin-in-Common who was sharing how he listens to Handel’s Messiah with longing. He loves the music but has come to doubt the texts it is built upon. Tolkien is one of my Christmas … Continue reading

Link to Part 1 and Part 2 As I noted before this series of talks is in a group on the Redeemer website. In this part I’ll treat Tim’s response and a Q/A session with Tim and Kathy and then a panel discussion. Again … Continue reading →
