Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.

Peter Kreeft
Image
How will the Tower of Babel be undone? How will we understand each other in Heaven? Will we all speak English or Dutch or Latin? No, we will speak music.

Image
The block of marble is not the sculptor, and doesn't see that he's about to become a masterpiece... We're the block of marble and God is the sculptor, and the chisel is.... everything.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.

You cannot be in love with love.
