Overview

A Lenten Online Conversation exploring Timothy Keller’s book Forgive: Why Should I and How Can I? Keller, a renowned evangelical thinker, addresses the challenges of forgiveness with depth and grace. This series will provide insight into the power of forgiveness and practicalways to apply it in our lives. Sessions will be held Thursdays in Lent from 6:30–8:00 PM (March 13,20, 27, April 3, 10).

Author

Timothy Keller (1950-2023) was the one of the most influential evangelical thinkers of our time and the long time pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. A gifted and influential communicator, he also was a prolific writer, and his book The Reason For God reached No. 7 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller. Although a conservative evangelical notably opposed to LGBTQ inclusion, he rejected culture-war antagonism, was committed to social justice, and was widely admired even by those who disagreed with him for his graciousness and his genuine effort to listen to others.

Today’s Topic

One strand of Christian tradition talks about God’s patience in this life and retribution in the life to come. Another very ancient strand believes that God will save everyone, even those who have committed unspeakable crimes – think of authors of ethnic cleansing and genocide, the perpetrators of race crimes, the speculators who cause financial havoc to satisfy their greed – the list is long. Should Christians wish God’s revenge and punishement for these crimes?
