"..and that's what converted the world, the happiness of the saints... no answer to that question except the Truth" -Dr. Peter Kreeft

I loved this interview Matt, invite this awesome man more often! Cheers for your wonderful work!!

Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy! AVE MARIA

If you read Anna K. and see Levin as the main character, with Anna there for contrast, it’s much better
-
LotR is my favorite novel but number two, above The Brothers K, is Island of the World by Michael O’Brien. I’ve read it twice now and it is so unbelievably beautiful and so well written.

As hoky as it may sound, but being in nature, watching waves, listening to the rain, walking in the snow, it's universal and the rhythm of the earth. You can feel creation, you can see it and most of all, experience it all and remain connected to it all while still being you...yet one with everything. And yes, Lord of the Rings, it's still brilliant and an epic, indeed.

Probably the works of Dostoyevsky…all five of them.Unprecedented world revealing ideas His conservative ideas of small government.Small and transparent.Individual free will….Absolutely unparalleled. As Einstein said.Dostoyevsky gives me more than scientist ever,

Really appreciate this video.

Hey Matt, could you please do a video about books you would recommend for Catholics to begin with philosophy? For some of us that want to learn more about the Catholic faith, I think sometimes the question forst comes, "Where do I begin?". I think this would be so helpful. Love the channel! God bless!

Kreeft is old enough to remember the detective series "Columbo" with Peter Falk. The series was inspired by Inspector Porfiry Petrovich, who slowly but surely trapped Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, the anti-hero of "Crime and Punishment."

Another writer that accomplishes what Flannery O'Connor did with her short stories (preaching the Gospel a cynical audience/protagonist) is Donna Tartt, at least in her novel The Goldfinch. Haven't read her other novels yet, but The Goldfinch is BRILLIANT. O'Connor/Dostoevsky-level fiction.

Shusaku endo is one of my favorite Christian novelists. His theology may not be good, but his writing is superb. I think the samurai was basically a novel version of CS Lewis argument from desire.
-
Shards Of Divinities is an incredible novel that will transform you spiritually and intellectually. It's about the intersection between science/logic and religion/spirituality. The novel is available on that site named after a river in South America.

I had no idea Dr. Peter Kreeft has ADD!

Beautiful corn cob
-
"Bleak House" and "Alice (Wonderland + Looking Glass)"
-
Laziness? You have to concentrate to read a book. You don't concentrate watching water.
-
Any fans of "All Quiet On The Western Front"
-
Anna though is meant to be long and spacious- wait until you get to the long pastoral scenes with her and Levin if you're bored now, but of course they are beautiful.

What about the Latin: tedium?
