(La recensione in italiano qui)

Kreeft affirms that in his life the three most influential philosophical books he ever read are books from the Bible: Qoelet, Job and the Canticle of Canticles. These books represent three different views on life: Qoelet representing nihilism, Job fatalism, and the Canticle mysticism.

In a different perspective, the first is a meditation on Hell, the second on Purgatory, the third on Heaven. The first is the best wisdom a man can reach without God, the second reflects on evil and reaches God at the end, the third is a joyful opening of the self to God the Creator.

This wise and brilliant thinker puts together a deep and enjoyable book.
