Welcome once again to the conversations that matter

podcast under host John Harris we are going to talk about another chapter

from this book engaging with Keller we've gone through four of them we've talked

about Tim Keller's view of sin and of hell and of the Trinity

and of the Church's mission and in each case what I've shown I think what the

authors I should say this book have shown, is that Tim Keller crafts a really a version of God that is

palatable to the world, softening attributes they don't like, like wrath and then elevating attributes they really like

like love. And he's done that and if you can go back and watch the episodes in each of the

cases that we talked about where he talks about these fundamental doctrines and he puts his own spin on them.

Today we're going to do something a little different. We're going to talk about his hermeneutic.

So this is how he does that. In other words, let's take an intellectual step back and let's see how does Tim Keller twist things so much?

And one of the things that is not included in this chapter, I want to read for you from this book

Social Justice goes to church the first book I wrote on social justice is

and someone who influenced Tim Keller named Harvey Kahn and I thought immediately when we were getting to the

hermonutics chapter in this book on Tim Keller that it was going to talk a lot about

Harvey Kahn and it didn't mention Harvey Con.

Well, not like a lot, but at least it would talk a lot about

Harvey Con's method and how Tim Keller takes that method and applies it, but it didn't.

And so I want to read for you a bit from this book it's a good

accompaniment if you happen to get the book engaging with Keller it's like over

300 dollars now it's out of print it was I think over 100 a little bit

before we started this and now it's a lot more I think the demand's gone up since we've started this
