The prodigal God
recovering the heart of the Christian faith
Book • 2008
In 'The Prodigal God', Timothy Keller delves into the parable of the Prodigal Son to uncover the heart of the Christian gospel.
He argues that the parable is not just about the wayward younger son, but also about the moralistic elder son and the Father's lavish love for both.
Keller redefines key concepts such as sin, lostness, and hope, showing that both the irreligious and the moralistic are spiritually lost but equally loved by God. The book challenges readers to see Christianity in a new light, emphasizing the gospel's message of hope and salvation for all people.
