Would Tim Keller Care If We Weren’t Still Talking About Him? Probably Not.

For all his greatness, we should most seek to imitate the late pastor’s humility and indifference to fame.

In spring of last year, many of us saw a photo of the late Timothy Keller sitting on a park bench. The photo was used on the cover of Collin Hansen’s biography of Keller, and it circulated around the internet in May when he passed away—on social media, blogs, and even Keller’s personal website.

What most of us didn’t see, however, was the banana peel lying on the bench only a couple feet from Keller.
