Zondervan The Reason for God DVD

Captured live and unscripted, pastor and author Timothy Keller meets with a group of people over six sessions to address their doubts and objections to Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, real-life experiences, and the Bible, Keller and the group explore the truth of Christianity. This DVD will help you think about and engage others in dialogue on six common objections to Christianity.

Session:
  • Discussion 1: Isn't the Bible a Myth? Hasn't Science Disproved Christianity?
  • Discussion 2: How Can You Say There Is Only One Way to God? What About Other Religions?
  • Discussion 3: What Gives You the Right to Tell Me How to Live My Life? Why Are There So Many Rules?
  • Discussion 4: Why Does God Allow Suffering? Why Is There So Much Evil in the World?
  • Discussion 5: Why Is the Church Responsible for So Much Injustice? Why Are Christians Such Hypocrites?
  • Discussion 6: How Can God Be Full of Love and Wrath at the Same Time? How Can God Send Good People to Hell?

This video is a wonderful explanation of common issues non-believers have with Christianity. It is useful, demonstrating how to avoid polarization and churchy language. I have used it with multiple groups and all have found it informative and engaging.

I was expecting some well thought-out answers to some big questions... Perhaps even some unique perspective on the conclusions most Christians have already reached on these questions. Instead I watched non-Christians offer their predictable views on the various subjects. This was then concluded by Mr. Keller finishing by offering his less than engaging points to ponder.

I used this material this past summer with a small group of young adult Christians. We were captivated by the video segments, and we had a difficult time cutting off the discussions each night. What I find especially helpful in this presentation is how Keller modeled an uncompromising and yet very gracious witness style that quickly created a sense of safe environment for his participants to share their objections. It was fascinating to see the members of his group warm up to Keller, and become increasingly less defensive and more open to consider what Keller had to say. I can't say enough good about this material. We decided to continue meeting with another of Keller's series.

The informal round table with "nominal Christians" atheist, agnostics and non-Christians works well. Timothy Keller knows how to patiently draw questions from the group that believers will encounter on an everyday basis. At the end of every 30 min. session Tim Keller is able to accurately sum up the objections raised by the group and address them in a God honouring way.

Using it in an evangelism class and finding this makes all go deeper in exploring what they believe and why.
