Tacelli InterVarsity Press, 1994 Buy. This. Book. If I could force every one of my students to read one book (absurd start to a sentence, I know) it would be this one. While many do not appreciate Kreeft's matter of fact (and at times sarcastic) tone, it is more conversational and so more accessible. It is interesting to me that none of the critiques of the book actually respond to the substance but resort to name-calling (one called it ...             Before I Go: Letters to Our Children About What Really Matters5 reviews Peter Kreeft Sheed & Ward, 2007 A Book That Really Matters Peter Kreeft is an outstanding philosophy professor at Boston College who has written over 40 books, most of which are excellent.

Zaccheus Press, 2003 The Key to "A Key" The Key to the understanding of "A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist" is the first sentence of Chapter Ten. It should stand at the head of the book.

I am ...             The Unaborted Socrates: A Dramatic Debate on the Issues Surrounding Abortion24 reviews Peter Kreeft InterVarsity Press, 1983 A Hard Read This is one of those books that will surprise you in many ways.

The format is three discussions led by Socorates with three groups ...             The Philosophy of Jesus5 reviews Peter Kreeft St. Augustines Press, 2007 Not a dry book on philosophy, but a great read George W. Bush in a presidential debate when asked who was his favorite philosopher, remarked "Jesus." He was roundly criticized for this at the time on multiple levels.
