Publisher's Summary:
In Encounters with Jesus, New York Times best-selling author and renowned pastor Timothy Keller explores Jesus' answers to life's biggest questions by showing what happened to those who met Jesus personally.
What is my purpose in life? Who am I meant to be? How can I live a successful life? Why is there so much wrong with our world today? Am I part of the problem? What can I do to help change that?
These are the big, seemingly unanswerable questions that everyone must ask and then answer in life.
Jesus changed the lives of nearly every person he met in the Gospels. These were powerful experiences that can have a profound effect on us today and help explain not only different aspects of Christianity but the deep questions of life itself. Timothy Keller highlights 10 of these encounters, including his meeting a sceptical student, a religious insider, an outcast, even Satan himself, and proves how invaluable the lessons from these encounters are for contemporary listeners.

Encounters with Jesus
Tim Keller is a good and faithful interpreter of GODâs WORD; better than most. I enjoy engaging Kellerâs reasoning and I always look forward to some thoughtful challenge or insight from him. This book can help us know and maybe even see Jesus better. Read The Bible, read this book, too.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE MOST IMPORTANT KIND
The foundation for the writing of this book was laid when Tim Keller was in college. He had recently come into a personal relationship with Christ and learned how to study the Bible guided by a book entitled Conversations with Jesus Christ from the Gospel of John by Marilyn Kunz and Catherine Schell. In close proximity to this study he learned how to read and study the Bible inductively. He attended a conference for Bible study leaders where one of the instructors had each student take 30 minutes to make 30 observations from Mark 1:17, âAnd Jesus said to them, âFollow me, and I will make you fishers of men.â In the first 10 minutes he thought he wrote down everything he had observed about the surrounding passage from the text. However, the gold was mined in minutes 20-30. It was through the patient and inductive wrestling with the text where the gold was found.
In this book of encounters with Jesus Tim Keller mines spiritual gold.The first five chapters are based on talks given by Keller to students â most of whom were spiritual skeptics â at the Town Hall in Oxford, England in 2012. These first five chapters reveal the foundational teachings of Christianity and the astonishing character of Jesus in particular as he encounters Nathanael, the Samaritan Woman and a Pharisee, Mary and Martha, Guests at a Wedding Party, and Mary Magdalene. In each of these encounters important questions are addressed to and by Jesus and one learns how to read the Scriptures copiously and glean the answers to lifeâs greatest questions. Questions such as: What is the world for? Whatâs wrong with the world? Can anything or person make the world right? How can we be part of the solution to making the world right?
Kellerâs thesis is that âif you want to be sure that you are developing sound, thoughtful answers to the fundamental questions, you need at the very least to become acquainted with the teachings of Christianity.
