description: Author of the New York Times bestseller The Reason for God and nationally renowned pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Timothy Keller with his most provocative and illuminating message yet.It is commonly thought in secular society that the Bible is one of the greatest hindrances to doing justice. Isn't it full of regressive views? Didn't it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance on how to have a more just society? But Timothy Keller sees it another way. In Generous Justice Keller explores a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous gracious justice. Here is a book for believers who find the Bible a trustworthy guide as well as those who suspect that Christianity is a regressive influence in the world.Keller's church founded in the eighties with fewer than one hundred congregants is now exponentially larger. More than five thousand people regularly attend Sunday services and another twenty-five thousand download Keller's sermons each week. A recent profile in New York magazine described his typical sermon as a mix of biblical scholarship pop culture and whatever might have caught his eye in The New York Review of Books or on Salon.com that week. In short Timothy Keller speaks a language that many thousands of people yearn to comprehend. In Generous Justice he offers them a new understanding of modern justice and human rights.
