THE PRODIGAL GOD
By Timothy Keller
Hodder & Stoughton. 140 pages. £10.99
ISBN 978-0-340-97997-6

The word ‘prodigal’ originally meant ‘recklessly extravagant’.

This book is Tim Keller’s exposition of Luke 15.11-31, Jesus’s parable we know as ‘The Prodigal Son’. Keller’s point is that, understood properly, it is really about ‘The Prodigal God’ who is unbelievably lavish in his love and grace.
