The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony - that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith.

She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14)

Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for listeners. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it - filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After listening to this audiobook, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Keller is always worth reading

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a book that is both a theology of the resurrection (emphasis on resurrection and not the cross) but also for our cultural moment in COVID, racial disharmony etc. Keller also mentions his own cancer diagnosis.

Keller lays out the evidence for the cross, but in an end note Keller lays out his thesis, which is basically to explain how inaugurated eschatology (he doesn't use those words) is good news for us, and he at times specifically applies it to our modern world.

There's also a bit of biblical theology here, tracing, I would say various themes more than just one.

I would say this book seems aimed at new-ish believers, to some extent non-believers, and believers who might want to dip for the first time into biblical theology and inaugurated eschatology.

Just when you think Tim Keller has said it all....

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021

I have read all of Tim Keller's published work (even the ones on church planting), and none have disappointed. I have to admit I was not prepared to have my mind and heart affected so deeply. It's almost as if I expected Dr Keller to have said everything that needs to be said and there wasn't anything new to be unveiled by him. The Holy Spirit is obviously not done with Tim, or with us. This book is much needed for our time and provides innumerable treasures that are easily missed in Scripture. Like Billy Graham said, "I thank God for him."

A Needed Expostion of the Resurrection

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

Keller writes with clarity and conviction, explaining the gospel in a way that is convincing and compelling. This book fills a needed gap and makes us considering not only the reality of the resurrection, but its meaning and power for Christian living. This is an excellent book. I'll be recommending it to others.

Timothy Keller is a talented guy

This is a wonderful book with a fantastic message....the Resurrection has changed everything and we will be altered by the realization that Jesus has changed the paradigm.
In today’s secular society, the message will change the world.

Not Just Blowing Sunshine

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Timothy Keller presents a timeless perspective on hope in this beautifully written look at the source of our hope, the actual, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. In presenting the reality of this factual miracle, Keller shows how our hope is not just in some future happy place in the sweet by-and-by, but it's real power, victory and joy in the nasty now-and-now. (Thank you, Rev. Elmer H. Murdoch.) The truth though, is that it is through loss, suffering, sorrow, humility and giving all that we experience this hope, this "Great Reversal". There's no "name it and claim it". There's no prosperity gospel. There's no promise of worldly success or even happiness. There is however the hope of the Kingdom of God. (Spoiler: It's already here.)

The Title Says It All

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2021

I don’t even remember why I picked up this book, but I am glad I did. I didn’t realize I needed the message of this book, but I did. It is a thorough examination of the resurrection and the hope that it brings to all areas of life. So thorough and such a joy to my soul. I even bought a copy for an unsaved friend who needs to hear the truth of Jesus from the perspective of the resurrection (and this book.) technically I would give 4.4 stars but since that is not an option I rounded up :)

If you have ever asked "What do Christians have to hope for?" this is the answer.

For believers and skeptics alike, this book clearly shows the great hope that Christians have in Easter. Just incredibly well done. One of Keller's best and that is saying something. Have used this book already in my own preaching and have recommended it to everyone in our church.

Unshakeable Hope

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have read many Tim Keller books and listened to countless sermons, but I think this book may be his masterpiece. It describes the essence of the Christian faith, found in the Great Reversal, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Time shows how this pattern of decent before ascent, of death before life is the pattern for our lives as believers and indeed for the history of the world. Tim shows clearly how the hopelessness of postmodernism and the false hope of human progress through social engineering or technology pale in comparison to the hope found in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Great Reversal of human history that it portends.

Great read for someone just starting out in Christian theology. He doesn’t go in depth like his other books, but it’s a broad stroke of what the Christian life means.
