The Reason for God
by Timothy Keller
Keller is the exception on this shelf. He is not recording his own turn — he spent decades in Manhattan on the receiving end of the hard questions, put by people with no intention of being convinced. He takes the objections at full strength, suffering and exclusivity and science and hell, answers them, then turns and makes the case the other way. If the rest of these books are where people arrived, this is the argument they had on the road.
