Description:

New York Times bestselling author and nationally renowned minister Timothy Keller
unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ.

King's Cross is Timothy Keller's revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark.
There have been many biographies of Jesus, but few will be as anticipated as one by Keller, the
man Newsweek calls "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century." In it, Keller shows how the story of
Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our
relationship with God. Like Keller's other books it has tremendous crossover appeal, but it is also
ideal for the faithful, those who are looking for a closer connection to Jesus and Christianity.

their love of cities, their commitment to mercy and justice, and their love of their neighbors, Tim

Rated it: it was amazing
Shelves: theology, biblical-studies
I'm all kinds of happy with this book. I've either liked or loved all of Keller's books. But this one is
my favorite. It carries all of Keller's popular themes: justice, idols, gospel critique of religion, and
worldview challenge. But they are all brought out from the text of the Gospel of Mark. The strength
of this book is that it helped me trust in and love Christ more. Also, it's a wonderful example of
reading the gospels. It's a wonderful book to read for devotions or hand to a skeptic.
