Kreeft considers all the fundamental elements of
Christianity and Catholicism, explaining, defending and
showing their relevance to our life and the world's
yearnings. Here is a book to help you understand your faith
more fully and to explain it to others more winningly. Like every religion, this faith has three aspects,
corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the
innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three
divisions as the basic outline for his Christian
apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether
expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to
know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some
practice of program, some moral or ethical code, something
for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some
liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body
and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work
at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a
most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including
the Catholic Faith of Christians. "These essays were written for Catholics by a Catholic. But
I believe that nearly everything I say here will be found by
the orthodox Biblical Protestant reader to be his faith as
well: That solid and substantial core that C.S. Lewis called
`mere Christianity'" -- Peter Kreeft
