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 Jesus the King
"Much of Redeemer is remarkably traditional. What is not
traditional is Dr. Keller's skill in speaking the language of his
urbane audience . . . Observing Dr. Keller's professorial pose on
stage, it is easy to understand his appeal." —The New York
Times
"Fifty years from now, if . . . Christians are widely known for
their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and
their love of their neighbors, Tim Keller will be remembered as a
pioneer of the new urban Christians." —Christianity Today
"In discussing the identity of Jesus, the author describes him as a
man both deeply embedded within his culture and times while also
living counter to them in many ways. . . . The
author describes a man aware of his upcoming sacrifice, and
indeed, a man in continual sacrifice, as he had descended from
heaven to live on earth. Captivating reading from a Christian
perspective." —Kirkus Reviews
"Keller engages the reader with astute pastoral application,
littered with excellent sermon illustrations. . . . [Jesus the
King] finds Keller in familiar territory: producing another great
book, leaving readers from atheist to Christian grappling with the
nature and implications of the gospel of Jesus Christ." —Michael
Johnson, DesiringGod.org
"This is the book where Tim Keller hits his stride as an author. .
. . Keller directs readers' gazes toward the cross and will not
allow them to look away." —Collin Hansen, The Gospel
Coalition
