Jacob's Ladder: Ten Steps to Truth
Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Well-known Catholic philosopher and writer Peter ; Kreeft tackles each of these questions in a logical ; step-by-step way, like climbing the rungs of a ladder. ; Because questions are best answered by dialogue, Kreeft ; answers these fundamental questions in an imaginary ; conversation between two very different people who meet at ; the beach.
Kreeft's characters begin at the ; beginning, at the bottom of the ladder, which is the ; passion for truth. When it comes to the most important ; questions a person can ask, no mere interest in ; philosophical dabbling will do. The passion for truth does ; not stop there, however, but carries the reader from one ; page to the next in this thought-provoking adventure of the ; mind.
Among the topics, or "steps", that ; Kreeft's characters delve into include:
- Do you ; have the passion to know?
- Does truth ; exist?
- What is the meaning of life?
- What ; is love, and why is it so important for our ; lives?
- If there is a God, what proof is there for ; his existence?
- Has God revealed himself to us in a ; personal way?
And many other important ; questions and topics to help climb the ladder to the truth ; about life.
