My Take
Even as someone outside his faith, I find Tim Keller a genuinely compelling figure. He wrote and preached for skeptics in the heart of secular New York, refusing easy answers while treating doubt with real intellectual respect. The Reason for God reached readers who would never set foot in a church, and that reach says something about his rare gift for clarity. What moves me most is that he poured his final energies into training pastors worldwide rather than building a personal brand. He died in 2023, but the institutions and arguments he left behind suggest a man who built for the long term.
