Catholics and Protestants: What Can We Learn from Each Other? by Peter Kreeft (E

Description: Catholics and Protestants by Peter Kreeft The widely read author and philosopher Peter Kreeft presents a unique book that focuses on the important beliefs that Catholics and Protestants share in common. He says this book is inspired by Christs high priestly prayer in the Gospel of John -that they may be one, - and by St. John Paul IIs ecumenical encyclical, Ut Unum Sint, which is also based on Christs prayer for unity. While there are still significant differences, Kreeft says that there has been a radical step of agreement on the single most important issue, justification. Kreeft says the style of the book is that of Pascal, Nietzsche, Solomon, and Jesus: short answers, single points to ponder rather than long strings of argument. It is direct, simple, and confrontational, but vertically rather than horizontally, -directing arrows not against each other (Protestant or Catholic) but against our own hearts and minds and wills.- It is timely because, as Pope St. John Paul II said, this next millennium is destined to be the millennium of Christian reunification as the first millennium was that of Christian unity, and the second one of Christian disunity.Above all, Kreeft says that this work is simple, not easy, or obvious, but condensed. It - like all of reality - is Christocentric. Its purpose is to be -like an Australian sheep dog, herding and hectoring Christs separated sheep back to His face. For that is the only way they can ever return back to each other.- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy at Boston College, is one of the most respected and prolific Christian authors of our time.
