New York Times bestselling author and pastor Timothy Keller concludes his Encounters with Jesus eBook series with The Mother of God, an exploration of the Annunciation and how Mary’s reaction to her blessing can help us grow in our understanding of Christianity.
Jesus’ mother, Mary, was the first person to learn that he was the Son of God. By examining her response to the angelic announcement, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times bestselling author of The Reason for God, sheds light on the uniqueness of this central fact of Christianity. He illustrates how deep her doubts were, how helpful her response was to those facing similar doubts, and how Mary in that moment shows us to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The Mother of God Encounters with Jesus Series Book 10 edition by Timothy Keller Religion Spirituality eBooks
In this essay Dr. Tim Keller examines the announcement from the angel to Mary in Luke 1 that she would give birth to the long-awaited Messiah anticipated from the Old Testament. In the first half of the essay Keller demonstrates how the announcement about Jesus is totally different from any religious leader in history in that Jesus is God Himself incarnate, and He is also "the God who saves."Keller articulates that "the Christian gospel says that we are saved--changed forever--not by what we do, and not even by what Jesus says, but by what Jesus has done for us...Jesus is the way of salvation; he comes not just to show you how to live but to live the life you should have lived and even die the death you should have died for your sins. That is how he accomplishes the requirements of salvation in your place...Jesus' claims are particularly unnerving, because if they are true there is no alternative but to bow the knee to him."
In the second half of the essay Keller shows how Mary responds to the Gospel in four particular ways: (1) By using her own reason and logic at the announcement of the Gospel (with reference to the coming of the Messiah and why He is the Savior); (2) By being honest in her doubts about the announcement of her bearing the Messiah and bringing Him into the world (as a virgin); (3) By her completely surrendering to the truth of the pronouncement; and lastly (4) By her communion, or expressing her faith in community with Elizabeth.
In this delightful essay Keller demonstrates how Mary's response to the gospel is what are response should be. We need to think logically about who Jesus was (and is) - God incarnate. We need to think about why He needed to come and save us (because of our alienation from the Father). We need to take our doubts seriously and yet honestly consider the evidence for His divine nature in His Person and work on our behalf (incarnation, perfect life, death, burial, and resurrection). We need to courageously commit to Him once we have reasoned that He is "the way, the truth, and the life." And finally we must commune with other believers in the faith.
I highly recommend this book in that it will provide you with a deeper appreciation of how Mary's faith can help you develop your own robust faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as you seek to go deeper in your understanding of, commitment to, and application of the gospel daily in the context of Christian fellowship with like-minded gospel saturated believers.

The Mother of God Encounters with Jesus Series Book 10 edition by Timothy Keller Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Excellent book!
It explains so much about Mary, mother of Jesus.
This way of telling of the annunciation makes it very REAL to me and imparting to my relationship with Gods
Growing up Catholic I've always wondered about Mary and her place in our relationship with Jesus. I appreciate how the author connects the challenges Mary and Joseph faced with challenges we face in faith.
Tim Keller’s understanding and exposition is exceptional as usual. This book/sermon is no different. A short observation on the response of Mary to the news of Jesus’ birth and its implications.
Highly recommended.
It is very good to be reminded that Jesus came into the world through a peasant , poor family not a royal household. Mary was obedient to what the Angel told her by faith without considering the hard consequences.
I loved this booklet! Timothy Keller really brought the story of Mary to life. The applications he made were so simple yet so profound. I really would like to read every book in this series, but not going to happen! Two dollars for a 31 page pamphlet is a little too much for me to handle. BUT I still gave it 5 stars. He has such amazing insights! I just may have to rethink buying the other titles!
This book is an excellent, short primer on the Annunciation and Mary. Keller looks deep at the Marian mystery and, through exegesis of the Gospel narratives and historical analysis, shows us how Mary is such a model for Christians.
Keller chose the most apt title Mary is theotokos; she is the Mother of God. Through this reality we gain a unique look at the central mystery of the Christian faith, the breathtaking reality of the Incarnation. God, the Everlasting Father, the Lord of Hosts, maker of all things visible and invisible...has a human mother. We Christians hold this incomprehensible fact to be not only true, but self-evident, since our Creator God, who is love, had to become man to save us, and had to take human flesh from a human mother.
By the way, I should note that, as a Roman Catholic, "nihil obstat." Tim Keller is a Protestant, and a Catholic would say many more things about Mary, but I saw nothing in this book that goes against Catholic doctrine; in fact, I would recommend it even to Catholics.
