I mentioned Tom Holland just there and he's actually just edited a volume of essays on Jesus the Revolutionary for SBCK by both Christian and non-Christian.

So looking forward to hopefully setting something up with him and perhaps one of the contributors on that as well.

And mentioning newsletters actually just recently on before we get to Norman Backracken and Tim Keller for today's show, it was great to receive some responses when I asked for what you've been doing creatively to engage people.

And conversations on a recent newsletter this came in from Nigel who said I've been concerned for a little while about my lack of contact with people who aren't Christians after starting a new job in a theological college.

This became more acute in lockdown. So I decided to open a new Twitter account made up an alias and started following various atheist forums and people with atheist and skeptic alias from across the world.

And it's been a fascinating time of learning what people really think and what the real issues are that they have with Christianity.

I've really started conversations but do respond to other tweets and comments and it's led to many deep and personal conversations.

What an interesting idea. Thank you very much to anyone else who I'm in touch actually with the fact that they they still do the good old fashioned, you know, door knocking and handing out tracks as well in their parish.

But you know, there's lots of ways you can engage people in a conversation out there. Well, today's show is a classic replay. That means we're pulling something out of the archive from 2009.

This was not long after the publication of Tim Keller's best selling book, the reason for God at the time I didn't know Tim very well. We've got to know each other a little bit over the years since there have been some health updates as well from Tim Keller.

I'll fill you in a little bit on that just in the last few months. But for the moment, let's get into this classic replay.

He's opposite Norman Backrack on today's show. I'll be introducing them both in just a moment's time. Hope you enjoy today's show. Let me know what you think.

We'll be hearing some of your feedback as well to recent editions of the show a little bit later on in the program for now.
