TIMOTHY KELER opened Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and now ministers to more than 9,000 regular Sunday attendees, plus the members of fifty "church plants" nationwide. He is also the author of The Prodigal God and the New York Times bestseller The Reason for God.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God and The Prodigal God and a nationally renowned minister, Timothy Keller exposes the error of making good things "ultimate" in his latest book, and shows readers a new path toward a hope that lasts.
Success, true love, and the life you've always wanted. Many of us placed our faith in these things, believing they held the key to happiness, but with a sneaking suspicion they might not deliver. The recent economic meltdown has cast a harsh new light on these pursuits. In a matter of months, fortunes, marriages, careers, and a secure retirement have disappeared for millions of people. No wonder so many of us feel lost, alone, disenchanted, and resentful. But the truth is that we made lesser gods of these good things —gods that can't give us what we really need. There is only one God who can wholly satisfy our cravings— and now is the perfect time to meet him again, or for the first time.
The Bible tells us that the human heart is an "idol- factory," taking good things and making them into idols that drive us. In Counterfeit Gods, Keller applies his trademark approach to show us how a proper understanding of the Bible reveals the unvarnished truth about societal ideals and our own hearts. This powerful message will cement Keller's reputation as a critical thinker and pastor, and comes at a crucial time—for both the faithful and the skeptical.
人心是一座偶像制造工厂。——约翰·加尔文 提及“偶像”一词,首先在我们脑海中浮现的是什么? 舞台上的名人,庙堂里的佛像,抑或是圣经中的金牛犊。在正常情况下,基督徒承认独一真神,也绝不会去触犯十诫中的第一、第二条(不可拜耶和华以外的神;不可制造偶像与拜偶像)。...
评分在这世界上的偶像比真实的事物还多。——尼采《偶像的黄昏》 1. 神坛上的偶像 从“偶像”角度而言,当今的社会和古代社会根本上并未不同——每一种文化都有各自的一套偶像,而且有其“神坛”。对偶像崇拜普遍存在人们内心——其实质与神明地位无异,以它们为生活重心,以为只要...
评分 评分十诫第一条便是不可有别的神,可见拜偶像的严重性。或许我们会以为,在今天,再也没有人去拜阿芙洛狄忒,巴力或是亚斯他录了,但事实恰恰相反,这些古代的假神们已经改名换姓,无声无息的潜入了我们今天的生活,使得我们对其崇拜而不自知。性自由,消费主义和成功学的毒药...
评分在《现代世界之道》一书中,作者纪克之说,在现今这个时代,人们最不可缺少的两个职业就是经理和治疗师。前者生产销售各种产品来满足人们的需要,后者则负责治疗人们的感觉,给人带来“康乐的体验”。 对今天的很多基督徒来说,最不可缺少的也是这两者。甚至在我们的宗教生活当...

评分Idolatry and mental error go hand in hand
评分“In ancient times, the deities were bloodthirsty and hard to appease. They still are.”
评分A magnificent, magisterial, and masterly book. Tim Keller aims to unveil the whole panoply of counterfeit gods that's dominating both individuals and societies. It reveals that idolatry can be internal as well as external; there are deeper idols hidden beneath those surface idols. The former ones are perhaps more poisonous and harder to root out.
评分17年给好友送了一本书,18年他送我一本,等我19年告诉他,自己一翻都没有翻。 可惜不遂他的意思,这几天做咖啡馆等人的时候,随手看了几章,有几点倒是挺让自己思考的。 1.克尔凯郭尔说,faith is irrational,你不能用绝对的理性来定义faith。 2.build ur confidence in marriage in the other side. woman fell into an illusion that she need to find a dependable and valuable partner.actually what she find is a broken ppl
