Peter Kreeft Bücher

The book offers a comprehensive summary of Catholic beliefs, drawing from the recently authorized universal catechism. Peter Kreeft presents essential teachings in an accessible style, making complex doctrines understandable for ordinary readers. He emphasizes the integration of doctrine, morality, and worship, reflecting the insights of the Second Vatican Council and the Church's Tradition. This work serves as a thorough and popular guide to Catholic catechesis, designed to meet local needs while remaining faithful to the universal Catechism.

Exploring the centrality of Platonism in Western philosophy, Peter Kreeft presents a series of lectures that delve into its foundational concepts, such as the transcendent reality of Platonic Ideas. He examines the influences of myth and Socrates on Plato, alongside twelve practical applications of the Forms within Plato's dialogues. The evolution of these ideas through key figures like Aristotle, Plotinus, and Augustine is discussed, as well as the contributions of Christian Platonists, including Justin Martyr and Aquinas, highlighting the tradition's profound impact on Western civilization.

Peter Kreeft believes that Baise Pascal is the first post-medieval apologist. No writer in history, claims Kreeft, is a more effective Christian apologist and evangelist to today's uprooted, confused, secularized pagans (inside and outside the Church) than Pascal. He was a brilliant man--a great scientist who did major work in physics and mathematics, as well as an inventor--whom Kreeft thinks was three centuries ahead of his time. His apologetics found in his Pensees are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic.

Unbelievers, doubters and skeptics continue to attack the truths of Christianity. Handbook of Catholic Apologetics is the only book that categorizes and summarizes all the major arguments in support of the main Christian beliefs. Also included is a Protestant-friendly treatment of Catholic- Protestant issues. The Catholic answers to Protestant questions show how Catholicism is the fullness of the Christian faith. Handbook of Catholic Apologetics is full of the wisdom and wit, clarity and insight of philosophers Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli. This is an informative and valuable guidebook for anyone looking for answers to questions of faith and reason. Whether you are asking the questions yourself or want to respond to others who are, here is the resource you have been waiting for.

This is no ordinary book. It is a set of probing questions (1,450 in fact) designed to help individuals or groups, especially groups, to dive deeply into Saint John’s Gospel. No answers are provided, but the questions are phrased in such a way as to set a person in a reliable direction for finding the answers. The questions correspond to the verses of the Gospel and require active and personal interaction. Some of the questions are easy, some difficult, and they are marked accordingly. Some questions include background information or hints that help the reader along. Some were written with a fair bit of humor. Any person or group using these questions to explore John will find themselves entertained as well as informed and inspired.
