Timothy Keller was born and raised in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. His first pastorate was in Hopewell, Virginia. In 1989 he started Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City with his wife, Kathy, and their three sons. Today, Redeemer has nearly six thousand regular Sunday attendees and has helped to start more than three hundred new churches around the world. He is the author of The Songs of Jesus, Prayer, Encounters with Jesus, Walking with God through Pain and Suffering, Every Good Endeavor, and The Meaning of Marriage, among others, including the perennial bestsellers The Reason for God and The Prodigal God.
Praise for Timothy Keller and Counterfeit Gods
"Keller's wisdom and biblical understanding, served up in clear,
engaging writing, can help both Christians and non-Christians to
identify the idols in our own hearts and replace empty promises
with hope in Christ." —World magazine
"Offers much insight for shepherding local churches. Keller argues
that Christians cannot understand themselves or their culture
unless they discern the counterfeit gods." —Christianity
Today
"Tim Keller knows how to tell a Bible story. Like The Prodigal God
before it . . . Counterfeit Gods is built around them. And every
time I read one of those stories, I feel like I am hearing it for
the first time. . . . Counterfeit Gods is easily one of the best
books I've read this year." —Tim Challies
"Smashes the arrogant conclusion that violation of the first
commandment was merely an ancient problem. Combining biblical
theology with experienced surgery on the soul over the years in
modern Manhattan . . . Keller's heart diagnostics will leave us
neither ignorant nor unmoved." —David B. Garner, associate
professor of Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
