Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.

More quotes by Peter Kreeft
A God who did not abolish suffering-worse , a God who abolished sin precisely by suffering-is a scandal to the modern mind.
Peter Kreeft
The modern mind always tends to reduce the greater to the lesser rather than seeing the lesser as reflecting the greater.
Peter Kreeft
For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.
Peter Kreeft
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Grey is the devil's favorite color.
Peter Kreeft
It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.
Peter Kreeft
Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.
Peter Kreeft
In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.
Peter Kreeft
Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
Peter Kreeft
The rich fop Francis of Assisi was bored all his life-until he fell in love with Christ and gave all his stuff away and became the troubadour of Lady Poverty.
Peter Kreeft
Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
Peter Kreeft
God created the possibility of evil people actualized that potentiality. The source of evil is not God's power but mankind's freedom. Even an all-powerful God could not have created a world in which people had genuine freedom and yet there was no potentiality for sin, because our freedom includes the possibility of sin within its own meaning.
Peter Kreeft
The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.
Peter Kreeft
There are relatively few atheists among neurologists and brain surgeons and astrophysicists, but many among psychologists, sociologists, and historians. The reason seems obvious: the first study divine design, the second study human undesign.
Peter Kreeft
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.
Peter Kreeft
Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.
Peter Kreeft
If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
Peter Kreeft
Now if the religious skeptic is right, we can know nothing about God. And if we can know nothing about God, how can we know God so well that we can know that he cannot be known? How can we know that God cannot and did not reveal himself—and perhaps even through human reason?
