Ask How You Know

ADVICE

Be Public And Respectful About Faith

  • Timothy Keller says open societies require honest, civil sharing of faith, not silence or aggression.
INSIGHT

Nature Gives Clues, Not Proofs

  • Paul and Keller call cosmological and teleological arguments clues rather than airtight proofs.
  • These clues point to a supernatural cause but do not force belief by themselves.
