Remembering Timothy Keller: A Pioneer Evangelist Passes Away at 72.

Timothy Keller, an evangelical minister who founded Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan and gained a national following, died at the age of 72. He was known for his conservative Christian beliefs that separated faith from party politics and his erudition that attracted young urban professionals.

He was an outspoken critic of the politicization of faith and believed that no party should have a lock on the Christian vote.
