DESCRIPTION:
It might give you an idea of how to talk to people in an apologetic dialogue. A great resource for parents and teachers who want to make logic come alive for their students. Incredibly clever and provocative. (Memorial Press, Spring 2009)Kreeft knows how to craft a question. (Frank on Let My People Read!, March 1, 2008) . In dialoguing with unbelievers, questions are the tools that can help yout o find out what the other person's presuppositions are
In a new introduction to this revised edition, Kreeft also highlights the inspiration for this book and the key questions of truth and faith it addresses.. What would happen if Socrates--yes, the Socrates of ancient Athens--suddenly showed up on the campus of a major university and enrolled in its divinity school? What would he think of human progress since his day? How would he react to our values? To our culture? And what would he think of Jesus? Peter Kreeft, Christian philosopher and longtime admirer of the historic Socrates, imagines the result. Throughout, Kreeft weaves an intriguing web as he brings Socrates closer and closer to a meeting with Jesus. Here is a startling and provocative portrayal of reason in search of truth. In this drama Socrates meets such fellow students as Bertha Broadmind, Thomas Keptic and Molly Mooney
Steven R. McEvoy said Another Great one by Kreeft. This is another in a series by Kreeft that has Socrates reappearing in a modern day setting to challenge people with what they believe or why the live the way they do. So, much like his other books The Best Things In Life and The Unaborted Socrates, the names of people and places in this book are a series of puns and jokes. In this book, Socrates wakes up from what he assumed was his suicide in the 'Broadener Library at Have It U. "What will you do with Jesus?" according to Corum Seth Smith. First of all, if I may get away with answering some critics. I was a philosophy and religious studies student at a secular liberal arts university where Christianity was not thought of fondly. I then went to a divinity school where I learned that not everything called "Christian" really is. Though I may not be an expert, I know what kind of things go on in the setting that Kreeft has offered, a divinity school. If nothing else, S. WI Marathoner said A wonderful read. A wonderful read that not only gives you some insight about the life of Socrates, but also gives insight into the minds of today's academia. A great addition to any philosopher's library.
Kreeft has written more than fifty books, including The Best Things in Life, The Journey, How to Win the Culture War and, with Ronald Tacelli, Handbook of Christian Apologetics.. Kreeft (Ph.D., Fordham University) is professor of philosophy at Boston College where he has taught since 1965. Peter J. A popular lecturer, he has also taught at m
