In his classic style of imagining fictional conversations between famous persons of history about important topics, Peter Kreeft once again does this in a brilliant way with C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Billy Graham talking about the Eucharist.
He picked three of the most loved and respected representatives of the three main Christian theological traditions: the most famous modern Protestant evangelist, Graham; the most famous modern Anglican Christian writer, Lewis; and the most famous and popular modern Roman Catholic writer, Tolkien, whose Lord of the Rings was picked by three major reader polls as "the greatest book of the 20th century."
This "trialogue" explains, defends, and critiques three views of the Eucharist - the Roman Catholic view (transubstantiation), defended by Tolkien; the typically Protestant (holy symbol), defended by Graham; and the Anglican "via media" compromise defended by Lewis. Kreeft says that such a conversation may actually have happened, and it aims at historical realism.

The widely read author and philosopher Peter Kreeft presents a unique book about the important beliefs that Catholics and Protestants share in common. Inspired by Christ's prayer for unity in the Gospel of John and Saint John Paul II's encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Kreeft demonstrates that Christian reunification is possible. While he acknowledges that there are still significant differences between Catholics and Protestants, he emphasizes that they agree on the single most important issue: justification.
The style of this book is modeled on Pascal, Solomon, and Jesus: short answers and single points to ponder rather than long strings of argument. The writing is direct, simple, and confrontational, but vertically rather than horizontally by "directing arrows not against each other (Protestant or Catholic) but against our own hearts and minds and wills."
The purpose of this book, writes Kreeft, is to be "like an Australian sheepdog, herding and hectoring Christ's separated sheep back to His face. For that is the only way they can ever return back to each other."

Описание:
"Life, in the end, has only one tragedy: not to have been a saint." - Leon Bloy
The ever-popular and prolific Peter Kreeft says that the most important question he has written about is how one becomes holy; or to put it another way, how one becomes a saint. This question is central to all the great religions, Kreeft demonstrates, for striving toward holiness, moving toward perfect love, is the whole purpose of life.
Kreeft admits that he is only a beginner on the climb to holiness, and it is to novices like him that he has written this engaging and encouraging book. Using the insights and experiences of saints and great spiritual writers throughout history, Kreeft shows what holiness is and how it can be achieved. He especially draws upon the spiritual classic Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade, S.J. The core of Caussade's timeless gem is that God reveals himself to all of us through the daily events of our lives. The surest way toward spiritual growth, therefore, is by perceiving and accepting the merciful will of God in every situation.
Kreeft stresses the simplicity of his approach to holiness, which focuses mainly on the virtue of love. Sanctity is love, he asserts, and only that can give us what we all long for--deep and lasting joy.
