Book : The Reason for God by Timothy Keller.
A) Write a book review summarizing each chapter. Each chapter summary should consist of: 1) One paragraph summarizing the chapters main point that would clearly convey the content of that chapter.(the abstract of the chapter). 2) No more than three paragraph, explaining how the author develops the ideas in the chapter, including the basic arguments for conclusions reached. Highlight the author's key points. Define key terms if necessary. Avoid quotation and the temptation to explain every step in the authors thinking. Instead summarize the basic arguments in your own words succinctly and clearly. 3) One substantial paragraph, giving your own personal, critical response to the author's main points. Explain at what point the arguments are weak or could be challenged. Which areas are the arguments strong and convincing? Was the author unnecessarily biased? What evidence or arguments did the author fail to consider? Is the author using some unstated assumptions that would be helpful for the reader to know?
B) To conclude the book review, write one to two summary paragraphs of your evaluation of the book as a whole. Did the author accomplish his or her purpose? What did you learn from the book? How did it enhance your knowledge of Christian worldview? Who would find this book useful? Would you recommend the book to someone? Why or why not?
