General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller delves into Jesus's well-known parable of the prodigal son, revealing profound insights beyond the familiar story. The book illuminates how the narrative features two lost sons: the younger, who squanders his inheritance, and the elder, who remains obedient but harbors resentment. Keller explores how both brothers represent different yet equally flawed ways of relating to God. Through this lens, the book examines fundamental themes of sin, grace, forgiveness, and the surprising nature of God's love for both the outwardly wayward and the self-righteous.
