Christianity for Modern Pagans: Pascal's Pensees Pascal's Pensees are a must read for anyone who cares about himself or others. Kreeft's commentary varies between very helpful (giving context to some of Pascal's references) to obstructive (Sometimes his commentaries seem to be about what Kreeft wanted to say, not about what Pascal was saying.) The commentary is easy to skip over or to read if you want, so it your like/dislike for it shouldn't be a noteworthy hinderance to your enjoyment of the book. --Reviewer: Christian J. Convey from Wakefiled, RI United States In this book, Kreeft has organized Pascal's Pensees into a structured and coherent whole, anticipating the likely structure which Pascal would likely have arranged his work if he had lived to complete it. Kreeft's ordering of the originally disordered Pensees is most enlightening, and opens up an additional depth of meaning to Pascal's frequently profound thoughts. Kreeft also surrounds Pascal's original text with his own commentary, which further elucidates the meaning and direction of Pascal's arguement. As a result, Kreeft makes Pascal's thought come alive and meaningful for the average reader. Reading this book gave me a much deeper appreciation for Pascal. I would highly recommend it as essential reading for anyone studying Pascal's works in a philosophy or literature class. I also recommend this book for anyone seeking to familiarize themselves with the classic literature of the Christian faith. --Reviewer: A reader
