DECEMBER 2024

We want to share about an exciting slate of resources and projects we have been hard at work on behind the scenes in 2024 as we approach 2025.

Practical Cohorts

In the first quarter of the year we’re hosting two excellent cohorts (details below)—make sure you email us at kellercohort@tgc.org if you have questions, want group rates, or need financial assistance.

TGC25 Conference

From April 22 to 24 we will have more than 20 breakout sessions led by Keller Center fellows and staff! Here are a handful of those breakouts:

Cultural Apologetics 101 with Rebecca McLaughlin, Keith Plummer, Trevin Wax, and Andrew Wilson (this is the second most popular breakout of the whole conference)
Sex and Sexuality: Cracks in the Progressive Project with Sam Allberry, Rachel Gilson, and Rebecca McLaughlin
Better Together: Ministering in the Church as Men and Women with J. T. English, Vanessa Hawkins, Michael Keller, and Jen Wilkin

The Gospel After Christendom Book

We are excited to announce—for the very first time—that in fall 2025 we will publish our first book in partnership with Zondervan Reflective entitled:

The Gospel After Christendom: An Introduction to Cultural Apologetics

This book, written entirely by Keller Center fellows and staff, captures the essence of our work to spread the gospel in uncharted territory, the post-Christendom West. We will share more about this book in the months to come.

SPECIAL CONGRATULATIONS

We want to extend a special congratulations to Gavin Ortlund for winning Christianity Today’s Book of the Year!

This is the second year in a row that a Keller Center fellow has won this honor after Chris Watkin’s Biblical Critical Theory earned the award in 2023.

FEATURED CONTENT

England’s Assisted Suicide Bill and the Disordered Western Soul

James Eglinton critiques England’s proposed assisted suicide bill, viewing it as indicative of modern Western culture’s disordered view of dignity and individual autonomy. He argues that such legislation reflects a secularized fear of suffering and death while undermining the inherent value of life, urging Christians to respond with both practical care and also a gospel-centered ethic of life.

When Was Critical Theory Born?

Chris Watkin reviews Carl Trueman’s To Change All Worlds, which explores the origins of critical theory in the Frankfurt School and how this movement reshaped societal norms by linking power, identity, and oppression, posing challenges for Christians engaging with cultural and intellectual trends.

My Top 10 Theology Stories of 2024

Collin Hansen continues his annual review of the top theology stories of 2024 highlighting major cultural, religious, and ethical shifts—not to mention the biggest vibe shift since he began this series in 2008.
