In this video Pastor Tim Keller is explaining the main ideas of his book, “The Reason for God” at the Google campus in Mountain View, California. Tim is someone who can calmly and knowledgeably share the Gospel with even the smartest most skeptical people.

I was inspired to share this with you because of an ongoing conversation I have been participating with some very intelligent non-Christian men about God. They ask me about my Bible while I’m at work and it set off an hour long conversation about why Jesus is the world’s only hope. Thankfully from listening and reading the teaching of wise Christian men, like Keller and Francis Schaeffer, I have been able to answer most of their questions about God. Listen to this talk and read his book—it will be worth it.
This is a great video. To be honest I always admire Christian men and women who can as you say “calmly and knowledgeably share the Gospel with even the smartest most skeptical people”. I don’t think God ever wanted for this to turn into an us vs. you debate because I think then the debate becomes about who’s winning not the actual truth, but I also think this kind of conversation is helpful and even repairing the hurtful gap between Christians and non-Christians.
