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

Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller was born in Pennsylvania and educated at Bucknell University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Westminster Theological Seminary. He became a Christian at university, was ordained by the Presbyterian Church in America and worked as a pastor for nine years.

He was asked to start Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan in 1989, and under his leadership the church's congregation experienced unprecedented growth from 50 to 5,000 members. His target audience consists mainly of urban professionals, whom he believes exhibit disproportionate influence over the culture and its ideas.

The 'Influentials' Issue of New York Magazine featured Dr. Keller as "the most successful Christian evangelist in the city by recognizing that young professionals and artists are 'disproportionately influential' in creating the country's culture and that you have to meet this coveted demographic on its own terms."

Timothy Keller is renowned for his clear, reasoned approach to Christian apologetics and his book THE REASON FOR GOD: BELIEF IN AN AGE OF SCEPTICISM was named Book of the Year for 2008 by World Magazine.

Timothy Keller lives in New York City with his wife Kathy and sons David, Michael and Jonathan.
