The Prodigal God

Résumé du livre

Timothy Keller is a writer and pastor. As founder and senior pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, he’s helped plant over 300 churches around the world. He’s published numerous other books including bestsellers like The Reason for God, Hidden Christmas, and The Prodigal God.

The parable of the prodigal son explores the universal themes of sin, forgiveness, and the human longing for belonging. Both brothers in the story stray—one through reckless living, the other through self-righteousness—revealing that sin takes many forms, whether through defiance or misguided obedience. The father, representing God, demonstrates unconditional love and forgiveness, welcoming both sons back with open arms. This reflects the broader biblical message that Jesus sacrificed himself to guide humanity back to God, offering hope and redemption to all. The story challenges us to examine our own motives, reminding us that true faith is rooted in love, humility, and authenticity, not in fear or transactional expectations. Through Jesus’ teachings and actions, including his first miracle at a wedding feast, we are called to embrace the joy of God’s presence, live out our values with sincerity, and find deeper connection within a community of faith.
