![]() ![]() Here Keller shows the error of the two sons, and concludes that they are “ Both Wrong Both Loved“. Firstly, “Redefining Sin”, which forms the third chapter of this book. Keller, amongst his retelling of a classic parable, also offers three ‘redefinitions’ of important concepts. This is not a book of easy answers – but it is a book that grabs on to truth and presents it brilliantly. This is of course an allusion to salvation, and over a few pages Keller explores what this means, turning a lot of preconceptions about both the parable and faith on their heads. This opening ‘definition’ underlines the thrust of Kellers writing here: God loves you enough to be recklessly extravagant, spending everything on you. ![]() ![]() “ prod-i-gal / prodigal – adjective recklessly extravagant having spent everything“ ![]() “The Prodigal God”, with the bold subtitle “Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith”, is a brilliant usage of the story of the Prodigal Son to give a new window on the beautiful person of Jesus Christ.Ī hint as to the picture of God that this book brings into beautiful perspective is before Keller has even recounted the parable he uses as a springboard So it was with some interest that I got round to reading this, almost the slimmest of his various books. ![]()
