The Meaning of Marriage

The must-read book on marriage from the New York Times bestselling author of THE REASON FOR GOD

The latest book from the New York Times bestselling author of THE REASON FOR GOD

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In previous books, respected New York pastor and bestselling author Timothy Keller has explored diverse and topical subjects such as the existence of God, our need to do justice, the meaning of Jesus' life, and the human temptation to make idols—all through the twin lenses of a biblical framework and an engagement with contemporary culture.

In this new book, The Meaning of Marriage, co-authored with his wife, Kathy, Keller turns his attention to that most complex matter: our need for love and its expression in marriage. Beginning with the biblical narrative and its depictions of marriage that span the original ideal, the broken, and the redemptive, he examines themes such as friendship and commitment, the completion of men and women in each other, singleness, sex and divorce, and ministry and discipleship within the context of marriage.

This is a profound and engaging work that will challenge and inspire people in all stages of life—single, newlywed, and married.

About the Author

Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years.

He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and under his leadership the church's congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5000 members. His target audience consists mainly of urban professionals, whom he believes exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas.

The 'Influentials' Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr. Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognizing that young professionals and artists are 'disproportionately influential' in creating the country's culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms."

Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SKEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.

Timothy Keller lives in New York City with his wife Kathy and sons David, Michael and Jonathan.
