Journey TV interviews Collin Hansen, the biographer of NYC pastor Tim Keller and the much-talked-about book Young, Restless, Reformed: A Journalist’s Journey with the New Calvinists. He serves as vice president for content and editor-in-chief of The Gospel Coalition. He hosts the Gospelbound podcast.

Hansen’s picks of the top theology stories of 2022 are:

  1. Russia invades Ukraine in first major land war in Europe since World War II.
  2. China reverts to authoritarianism on brink of war with Taiwan.
  3. Iran erupts in revolution.
  4. Dobbs decision allows abortion bans for first time in nearly 50 years.
  5. Two Christian colleges abandon biblical ethics.
  6. Pastors blamed in the ongoing reckoning for 2020.
  7. Queen Elizabeth II dies.
  8. Southern Baptist Church report reveals top-level abuse cover-up.
  9. No slack seen in onslaught of mass shootings.
  10. What’s next after liberalism?

The biography will be published on February 7th, 2023. It looks like a sell-out. So pre-order the book now if you want a copy before next Christmas.

“Collin Hansen’s informative study of Tim Keller explains how this traditional Calvinist became so effective as a minister in New York City despite that city’s reputation for ignoring anything traditionally Christian. [Keller’s mixture of intellectual influences] also shows others the staying power, even in a hypermodern world, of what might be called soft-shell Calvinism.” — Mark Noll, emeritus professor of the University of Notre Dame.
