Just finished it last week. I have mixed feelings about it. He makes some really good points, uses great illustrations and often approaches a presuppositional type of apologetics. But...he also is quite cozy with Darwinism (too cozy for my liking), has an open-ended ecclesiology, and says that God's wrath flows from his love (he doesn't elaborate on how that applies to Satan).

I think that what it does, and what it is for, it does quite well. It is a very practical, hands-on apologetics book that addresses real questions that people ask all the time. Of course, the book is meant to speak for a great deal more than confessional Presbyterianism. Hence the complete lack of confessional underpinnings. Read it for the arguments against unbelief, which are actually quite masterful.

Now that I think about, I come away from it feeling the same way I did when I first read C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Not surprising, since Keller claims Lewis as his major influence.
