Tim Keller, a well-known theologian, itinerant speaker and founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, revealed Sunday he is being treated for pancreatic cancer.
“Less than three weeks ago, I didn’t know I had cancer,” he announced.
The 69-year-old preacher first shared the news on Instagram.
“I feel great and have no symptoms,” Keller wrote. “It was what doctors call an ‘incidental pickup,’ otherwise known as providential intervention. I have terrific human doctors, but most importantly, I have the Great Physician himself caring for me.”
Through the treatments he has endured in the last few weeks, the famous preacher said God “has been remarkably present.”
