Philosophy

by Natalie Plumb

“I hope I’ve confused you a little bit.” Peter Kreeft intrigued the approximately 100-member audience with this concluding statement of his lecture titled “The Philosophy of Jesus.”

A philosopher and author of over 55 books, Kreeft was invited to speak the night of Nov. 6 by the Newman Catholic Association. The event was sponsored by Newman, but funded in part by the University Park Allocation Committee. The lecture was prompted by a list of 177 thought and study questions that were given to the audience.

Peter Kreeft, one of the most widely respected Christian apologists of our day, is coming to Penn State to speak on Friday, November 6.

 

Dr Kreeft is Professor of Philosophy at Boston College.  He also serves on the faculty at Kings College in New York City. He has published more than 50 books, including the classic text Handbook of Christian Apologetics (1994, InterVarsity Press) which he coauthored with Ronald K. Tacelli.  Kreeft is Roman Catholic, but his work is widely read and valued by Christians of all traditions.  He became a primary source for Lee Strobel’s The Case for Faith (2000, Zondervan), in which he helps Strobel to wrestle with the age-old question, “How can an  all-powerful and loving God allow the existence of evil?”

Dr. Kreeft will speak at 7 pm in  121 Sparks. His visit is sponsored by the Newman Catholic Student Association. Come out and listen to him, and tell us what you think.
