Book Description
Peter Kreeft believes that Blaise 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 Pensées are ideal for the modern, sophisticated skeptic.
Kreeft has selected the parts of Pascal's Pensées which best respond to the needs of modern man, and offers his own comments on applying Pascal's wisdom to today's problems. Addressed to modern skeptics and unbelievers, as well as to modern Christians for apologetics and self-examination, Pascal and Kreeft combine to provide a powerful witness to Christian truth.

First Sentence
Pascal made quite clear in his notes that his book was to begin, not with my first points, Order and Method, but with a much more interesting "grabber", death. Read the first page

No Better Place to Start,
By
This review is from: Christianity for Modern Pagans: PASCAL's Pensees Edited, Outlined, and Explained (Paperback)
On the one hand, the text of the Pensees can be hard for beginners, even smart ones. On the other hand, textbooks where people tell you what other people thought suck. So Kreeft gives you the main dish, the text of the Pensees itself (nicely categorized topically, rather than the normal rather random fashion), but with his lucid notes interspersed along with helpful illustrations. Pascal is utterly fascinating, you've never read anything like it. It's so mind-blowing at times, it's nice to be accompanied by Kreeft.

Dr. Kreeft does it again,
By Sam Adams "Catholic teen" (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christianity for Modern Pagans: PASCAL's Pensees Edited, Outlined, and Explained (Paperback)
This book is beautiful for any Christian or person seeking Truth. Kreeft takes his favorite Pensees by Pascal, gives us to them, and then comments upon them. A great book. Topics include The Wager, Christ's Person, the Church, why God is hidden, and more.

good companion to pensees,
This review is from: Christianity for Modern Pagans: PASCAL's Pensees Edited, Outlined, and Explained (Paperback)
Kreefts book helps put Pascals idea into their proper context. The good stuff from the Pensees is all in here. Pascal is truly a great thinker not to be missed.
