Tim Keller

Timothy J. Keller (1950–2023) war ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Pastor, Theologe und Bestsellerautor, der ab 1989 die Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City aufbaute. Er prägte einen reformierten, evangeliumszentrierten Ansatz, der den christlichen Glauben intellektuell fundiert im säkularen Kontext begründen und gelebte gesellschaftliche Verantwortung betonen wollte. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften verständliche Zugänge zur Relevanz biblischer Texte in einer säkularen Kultur, während seine theologische Haltung sowohl von progressiver wie auch von rechtskonservativer Seite Kritik erfuhr.
