Absolutely….AMAZING!!!!!!……now I see what my son keeps saying about Catholic scholarship.

“I believe in you, Peter Pan.”

Yeah, Peter Kreeft is pretty much the man. He’s written a bunch books on apologetics (more about “mere” Christianity than Catholicism) and the closest thing that the current generation has to a modern incarnation of C.S. Lewis, in my admittedly humble opinion.

I think if anyone is interested in reading more of his stuff, the books below are great places to start - they’re both written as a dialogue - think the Socratic dialectic style … but actually more fun to read than you’d think, given that introduction:

• Socrates Meets Jesus - Socrates, reincarnated, goes to a (theologically liberal) seminary and attempts to figure out why people think what they do about the claims of Christ.

• Between Heaven and Hell - it’s a little-known fact that within 24 hours of JFK being assassinated, C.S. Lewis and Huxley also died. This conversation imagines what it would be like if they were all discussing their respective worldviews … although it is set after they all die, hence the title.

Bob, thanks for posting this - it makes me want to go grab a copy of the “Everything You Wanted to Know About Heaven” book that he wrote …

Agreed. I’m gonna’ have to put a copy of his book on my wish list. Sad when you realize that many evangelicals would dismiss him outright for being Roman Catholic. I think he has much to say that’s worth hearing. Scholars of his caliber him can teach us what it really means to think instead of the cotton-candy fluff on the evangelical best-seller list.
