Summary
- Tim Keller (1950–2023), founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, wrote some thirty books, and four more have been published since his death.
- His family counts The Reason for God, The Prodigal God and The Meaning of Marriage among his best known, and The Reason for God is the book both Christianity Today and his biographer put first.
- The Reason for God reached No. 7 on the New York Times best-seller list and sold more than 150,000 copies in its first year.
- Christianity Today’s guide for new readers picks eight books for eight roles he played, from apologist and pastor to counselor, advocate and laborer.
- Two books were renamed in paperback, King’s Cross as Jesus the King and The Prodigal Prophet as Rediscovering Jonah, and Making Sense of God got a new subtitle.
- Books since his death include Go Forward in Love (2024), What Is Wrong with the World? (2025) and The Stories We Live By (2026), which his son Michael wrote from his outline.
