Uncommon Ground

Living Faithfully in a World of Difference

By: Timothy Keller, John Inazu

Narrated by: Robert Kiefer, Nan Gurley

How can Christians today interact with those around them in a way that shows respect to those whose beliefs are radically different but that also remains faithful to the gospel? Join bestselling author Timothy Keller and legal scholar John Inazu as they bring together illuminating stories to answer this vital question.

In Uncommon Ground, Keller and Inazu bring together a thrilling range of artists, thinkers, and leaders to provide a guide to living faithfully in a divided world, including:

• Lecrae, a recording artist, songwriter, and record producer
• Claude Richard Alexander Jr., senior pastor of The Park Church in Charlotte, North Carolina
• Rudy Carrasco, a program officer for the Murdock Charitable Trust
• Sara Groves, a singer and songwriter
• Shirley V. Hoogstra, president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities
• Kristen Deede Johnson, a professor of theology and Christian formation at Western Theological Seminary
• Warren Kinghorn, a professor of psychiatry and theology at Duke University
• Tom Lin, president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
• Trillia Newbell, director of community outreach for the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
• Tish Harrison Warren, an Anglican priest at the Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

With varied and enlightening approaches to reaching faithfully across deep and often painful differences, Uncommon Ground shows us how to live with confidence, joy, and hope in a complex and fragmented age.

Praise for Uncommon Ground:

"For anyone struggling to engage well with others in an era of toxic conflict, this book provides a framework, steeped in humility, that is not only insightful but is readily actionable. I'm grateful for the vulnerability and wisdom offered by each of the twelve leaders who contributed to this book. The task of learning to love well--neighbors and enemies alike--is long and urgent, and it can be costly. And yet, as this book shows us because it is the work of Jesus, we can pursue this love with great hope."

--Gary A. Haugen, founder and CEO, International Justice Mission

Collection of Sound Contributors

Tim Keller's "Uncommon Ground" is an impactful collection with sound theology from a list of select Christ-centered contributors. Definitely work to begin and having to just get through some parts, but altogether worthwhile for a time of pluralism and division.

Excellent!

One of my best reads in 2020-2021. If you want to understand better the issues facing this world today and how a Christian is called to live out the Gospel, this is the book to read!

Must Read.

Tremendous book, with compelling stories of lived experience and aspirational calling for the Christian life.

A Book for out times.

A must read if you’re trying to navigate these contentious times. Thought provoking and inspiring.

Thought provoking

It’s easy to demonize people we see as destroying our country. This book helps us develop tools to express love to those who operate out of hate; but deceive themselves into believing they are helping this country when they are tearing it down by putting politics in front of faith.
