Warm tributes are continuing to pour in for Tim Keller, an evangelical of global significance, who has died of pancreatic cancer at his home in Manhattan. His death was announced on Friday 19 May, nearly three years after his initial diagnosis. 

In a Tweet, his son Michael Keller shared: ‘Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words…“there is no downside for me leaving, not in the slightest”.’

Dr Keller was an internationally recognised speaker, writer, and leader. Following his death, there have been tributes paid from evangelicals across the world.
