SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- Prolific author and professor of philosophy at Boston College Peter Kreeft opens THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHER WHO EVER LIVED with a jab at himself for writing a previous book of one hundred great philosophers — and leaving off the greatest of them all. And that greatest philosopher of all time? It is the person who loved Jesus, the Incarnate Wisdom, more than any other human being: Mary. After all, philosophy is the very search of and love for wisdom.

THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHER WHO EVER LIVED is perhaps the only book of its kind because it classifies Mary as a philosopher, a lover and pursuer of wisdom, the very essence of philosophy. While Kreeft is the author of dozens of books, including many bestsellers, and an academic philosopher, he writes this book "as a child who thinks he sees something profound and beautiful in Mary’s largely silent wisdom and who wants to call out to others: 'Oh, look!' — like a child seeing a rainbow or a cathedral for the first time."

THE GREATEST PHILOSOPHER WHO EVER LIVED not only unpacks the thought and spirit of Mary as we know her through Scripture and Church doctrine, but offers a heartfelt crash course in the basics of philosophy — methodology, epistemology, logic, metaphysics, cosmology, ethics, politics, aesthetics and more — all through the lens of the Mother of God. Kreeft also passionately appeals to Protestants in the book, giving them reason to learn about Mary from a different point of view and challenging them to rethink how they view her.

Fans of Kreeft will find here another fine example of his characteristic freshness, creativity, depth and readability. But, above all, those who are curious about the mother of Jesus, whether they are new to the Christian faith or simply hoping to discover it anew, will likely find themselves swept up in the tide of Mary's wise love for God.

"The inimitable Peter Kreeft has done it again with this fascinating, challenging romance about the woman who gave the Word flesh," said Patrick Coffin, author of The Contraception Deception and co-founder of CoffinNation.com. "Deep calls unto deep, seemingly disparate dots are connected, and you find yourself grasped by truths that have been hiding in plain sight all along. Welcome to philosophy for people who hate philosophy."
