More About This Book

Overview

Kreeft considers all the fundamental elements of Christianity and Catholicism, explaining, defending and showing their relevance to our life and the world's yearnings. Here is a book to help you understand your faith more fully and to explain it to others more winningly. Like every religion, this faith has three aspects, corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three divisions as the basic outline for his Christian apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some practice of program, some moral or ethical code, something for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including the Catholic Faith of Christians.

    I really want his book.

    My theology(religion but the better term for it) gave us exerts from this book to read, it was so incredible. I really want to huy this book, but unfortunately I am saving up for my brother birthday and christmas. He speaks the truth, Kreeft, and it's inspiring. I would also recommend reading C.S. Lewis. It is so great to see God so active in people's life. It makes me wih I had that type of relationship wih God. We all do but it takes an active part on our effort. I hate to say that the devil is there to throw us off the path to rightiness. It takes a huge effort o stop he devil. Good luck.

    Great book for those searching for Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have read this book and have given it as a gift to family and friends. It is one of the best books to explain such a complicated topic. Although "faith" and "religion" can be difficult to explain, this book is easy to understand and makes things clear. I am grateful to have discovered the one, holy, Catholic,and apostolic Church before picking up this book and reading it. I'm praying that the family and friends I have given this book to will take the words to heart and also discover that Truth is not something but Someone.

    Great read for Catholics

    With great style, Kreeft outlines the highlights of the Catholic faith & doctrines in a clear, concise, interesting and inspiring style. This book is intellegent, yet also straight-forward and down to earth. A book to ignite those who desire holiness.

    This is the greatest book I have ever read to help me come to a rational understanding for why I believe what I do not only as a Catholic, but a spiritual being.
