Ask Peter Kreeft
Summary
What's the hardest question you've ever been asked? I've given thousands of lectures around the country to engaged, thoughtful, curious university and church audiences and have always made it a practice to allow for as many questions as possible. Here are the most interesting ones I've been asked, and the answers I gave. Of course, as real questions from real people, they're an eclectic mix, ranging from questions about God and sex and sin and suffering to those about heaven, my favorite movies, even surfing! Some of the questions and answers are easy, some hard; some profound, some silly; some tragic, some funny; most of them thought-provoking and all of them, I hope, entertaining. Join me now as I answer scores of questions I've been asked over the decades, including the following: Why are you a Catholic? Why are so many philosophers weird? Why do you feel the need to bring God into everything? What is your favorite method of prayer? Why does the Church resist women s ordination? Why can't divorced and remarried Catholics receive Communion? Why is the Catholic Church obsessed with sex? Why does the Church still forbid birth control? Why not trial marriages living together? Why can't Catholics believe in reincarnation? Have you ever witnessed a miracle? If you were pope, what's the first thing you would do? What ten books would you take to a desert island? Which modern invention do you believe is the most dangerous? Why don't we have as many deep friendships anymore? What's the secret of your success as a writer? What's the hardest question you've ever been asked? And many more questions and answers on an unbridled assortment of topics!

The Modern Scholar: Faith and Reason: The Philosophy of Religion
Summary
Through the ages, mankind has pursued questions of faith in something beyond the world of ordinary experience. Is there a God? How can we explain the presence of evil? Do humans, or human souls, live on after death? Is there a hell? The following lectures examine these eternal questions and present the most compelling arguments for and against God's existence, the seeming conflicts between religion and science, and the different truth-claims of the world's most popular religions. By delving into the major characteristics of world religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, mankind's association with the many different varieties of religious practice is brought to light. Above all, Faith and Reason: The Philosophy of Religion lays the groundwork for a rational approach to pursuing questions of faith - and at the same time provides a better understanding of religion's ongoing importance in the realm of human experience.

Prayer for Beginners
Summary
Peter Kreeft brings his unique insights to this most important area of our spiritual lives. He claims he himself is still a beginner in prayer, and this book is for all those, like him, who feel that they are not good at praying but desire to become much better at it. Thus, Kreeft offers simple, but profound advice and practical steps for developing a prayer life based on the time-tested wisdom of the saints and great spiritual writers, especially the principles found in Brother Lawrence's classic, The Practice of the Presence of God. In short, straight-forward, and unsentimental chapters, Kreeft covers all the key areas for understanding and developing that intimate form of communication with our creator that we call prayer. He covers such areas as the necessity of prayer, various motives and methods, steps, patience, suffering, sin, faith, and grace.

Forty Reasons I Am a Catholic
Summary
My title explains itself. But it's misleading. There are more than 40 reasons. In fact, there are at least 10 to the 82nd power, which, I am told, is the number of atoms in the universe. And that's just in ordinary matter, which makes up only four-point-nine percent of the universe, the rest being dark matter and dark energy. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most people only remember a few big ideas or separate points after reading or listening to a book. I've never heard anyone say "Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically-ordered-argumentation" but I've often heard people say, "Oh, that was a good point." Which takes me back to my main point: "Why are you a Catholic?" is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer. Here are 40 of mine.
