Timothy Keller, a pastor and best-selling author who founded the influential Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, has died at home after three-year bout with pancreatic cancer.
This undated photo shows prominent pastor and author Timothy Keller at one of his many speaking engagements. Keller died Friday, May 19, at the age of 72.
Keller and his family launched Redeemer in 1989, and the congregation went on to welcome more than 5,000 attendees across its multiple locations each week. He once wrote, “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.”
Still, in an essay for The New Yorker in 2017, Keller lamented that it was harder to wear the label “evangelical” after President Donald Trump’s election, which many other leading evangelicals had championed.
