About this listen

How do we make sense of the world's different religions? In today's globalized society, religion is deeply intertwined with every issue we see on the news. But talking about multiple religions can be contentious. Are different faiths compatible somehow? And how can we know whether one religion is more true than another?

In this creative thought experiment, Peter Kreeft invites us to encounter dialogues on the world's great faiths. His characters Thomas Keptic and Bea Lever are students in Professor Fesser's course on world religions, and the three explore the content and distinctive claims of each. Together they probe the plausibility of major religions, from Hinduism and Buddhism to Christianity and Islam. Along the way they explore how religions might relate to each other and to what extent exclusivism or inclusivism might make sense. Ultimately, Kreeft gives us helpful tools for thinking fairly and critically about competing religious beliefs. If the religions are different kinds of music, do they together make harmony or cacophony? Decide for yourself.

Philosophical discussion of various religions.
Just how exactly can a worldview be inclusive of a view that contradicts it?
Maybe it can't, after all. Maybe the truth is one way, one path, one gate...
Kreeft is a Christian (Catholic) but this work is not a case for Christianity, at least not overtly. It does, however, contain an invitation to consider Christianity. It's also an invitation to engage the mind. You may be an agnostic or atheist, but if you've heard the discussion about God, then you're not merely a casual observer, says Kreeft. There's a lot riding on it. Peter Kreeft is one of the greatest living Christian philosophers. He lights a lamp and dares you to look.

Excellent.
