SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- The eighteen contributors to WISDOM AND WONDER: HOW PETER KREEFT SHAPED THE NEXT GENERATION OF CATHOLICS (Ignatius Press) take no time in affirming their belief that Dr. Peter Kreeft, author of more than 80 books on philosophy, ethics, theology and Catholicism, is, indeed, the modern day C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and even Socrates.

In WISDOM AND WONDER, Kreeft is credited with conversions to Catholicism and the inspiration behind bestselling books on apologetics and cultural hot topics.

WISDOM AND WONDER is edited by Brandon Vogt, a bestselling author of ten books and the founder of ClaritasU, which trains Catholics on how to talk about their faith, especially hot-button issues. He works as the content director for Bishop Robert Barron's Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

This collection of eighteen essays, mainly by millennial Catholic leaders and converts to the Catholic faith, celebrates Kreeft's significant legacy and impact, his most important books, and the many ways he has imparted to others those two seminal gifts: wisdom and wonder. Among the eighteen contributors to this book are Vogt, Trent Horn, Tyler Blanski, Dr. Douglas Beaumont, JonMarc Grodi, Jackie Angel, Matthew Warner, Rachel Bulman and Fr. Blake Britton, among others.

Every essay in WISDOM AND WONDER has a common theme running throughout their individual pages: that Peter Kreeft has made philosophy relatable, easy to understand, and entirely fascinating. He has used wit, humor and everyday wonder to create a library full of books that will continue to influence generations of those searching for the Truth.

"The wonderful essays in this collection witness to the extraordinary influence of one of the great teachers of the Catholic faith in our time," said Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles and founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. "In their intelligence, wit and faith, these young disciples of Peter Kreeft show that they have sat attentively at the master's feet. But their most significant contribution is this: they make people want to read the works of the man who so inspired them."
