Recently, I picked up a copy of Tim Keller's The Reason for God from our church book-rack (I paid for it!). I haven't gotten past the Introduction, which is fairly lengthy, but it has definite prospects for being very good - if the intro is any clear indication. Anyway, I found this (also fairly lengthy) video, in which Dr. Keller presents the basic premises upon which he bases the book:

Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve,
Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be
justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul)
Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think
of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield)
“With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)
