The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet
uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar
parable.
Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the
twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for
God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should
believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark
intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable
of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and
salvation.
Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the
irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout
and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
