Blaise Pascal has always been appreciated as a literary giant and a religious guide, but has received only grudging recognition as a philosopher: philosophers have mistaken Pascal’s harsh criticism of their discipline as a rejection of it. But according to Graeme Hunter, Pascal’s critics have simply failed to grasp his lean, but powerful conception of philosophy. This accessibly written book provides the first introduction to Pascal’s philosophy as an organic whole. Hunter argues that Pascal’s aim is not merely to humble philosophy, but to save it from a kind of failure to which it is prone. He lays out Pascal’s development of a more promising and fruitful path for philosophical inquiry, one that responded to the scientific, religious, and political upheaval of his time. Finally, Hunter illuminates Pascal’s significance for contemporary readers, allowing him to emerge as the rare philosopher who is spiritual, literary, and rigorous all at once – both a brilliant controversialist and a thinker of substance.
Pascal's God- Shaped Vacuum

Blaise Pascal wrote the Pens es to his skeptical and restless friends to move them to seek God. The Pens es are widely regarded as one of the most exhilarating and effective defenses of the Christian faith ever written, particularly for today's readers who resemble Pascal's friends. This comprehensive guided tour of Pascal's Pens es, plus biography of Pascal's courageous life, aims to benefit seekers and believers by conveying Pascal's insights into: (1) Why a human being is miserable without God; (2) Why Christianity uniquely offers a winsome and efficacious cure; and (3) Why Christianity, despite modern objections, is plausibly true. The greatest significance of Pascal's Pens es may be their compelling articulation of the unique relevance of Christ's gospel for our time. In T.S. Eliot's words, "But I can think of no Christian writer, not Newman even, more to be commended than Pascal to those who doubt, but who have the mind to conceive, and the sensibility to feel, the disorder, the futility, the meaninglessness, the mystery of life and suffering, and who can only find peace through a satisfaction of the whole being." Pascal's signature Pens e undergirding the themes of this guided tour is number 148: "What else does this craving proclaim but that there was once in man a true state of happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object, in other words by God himself." Through this Pens e and many others Pascal wakes us up to appreciate that we may have a God-shaped vacuum in our heart, as suggested, for example, by our affinity for diversions and indifference as ways to avoid addressing our grimmest problems such as our impending deaths, unhappiness, and unjust self-absorption. The Pens es in particular address how a person this side of the technological revolution can seriously consider Christian truth and life in the face of contemporary countervailing currents including scientism, cynicism, and entertainment culture. Pascal's case for why to seek and believe is especially relevant for today because he wrote to modern secular society, to ambitious pursuers of career success, to the bored and indifferent, to intellectual skeptics. In contrast, classical rational apologetics hardly penetrate this group, because they neglect the readers' psychology, mistakenly pre-supposing they are open to seeking God. By combining style, wit, and reasoned arguments to move both the heart and mind, Pascal's Pens es are known for setting his listeners on fire to take up an interest in seeking. The Pens es will appeal to those who enjoy brilliant writing and wish to gain deeper insight into the human condition. As Professor Henry Phillips put it, "Pascal offers a portrait of the human condition that provokes questions whose answers will be found only in the Christian religion." The Pens es are especially on target for readers who struggle with how a reasonable person living in today's technological era can be a Christian; for these Pascal is indispensible reading and the ultimate mentor. In addition to helping seekers work out their doubts about belief, this guided tour aims to make Pascal's thoughts practically helpful for a Christian to live life congruently with the gospel, and in particular to better weather modern doubts and criticisms. This book was inspired by the excellent guided tour of the Pens es (Christianity for Modern Pagans, 1993) by Professor Peter Kreeft, and from learning that many fellow Christians count the Pens es as one of their all-time most helpful reads. Given the stature of Pascal as a colossal Christian thinker, it is surprising that very few comprehensive guided tours with objective to help modern seekers and believers have been published, and this book helps fill this space.

Confirmed atheist Jill McGavock faces the mental deterioration of her brilliant mother. In a quest to cope with this devastating situation, Jill seeks out philosophy professor Sam Hunt. Savvy Sam challenges Jill to make "Pascal's wager" -- to "bet" that God exists by acting as if he does. The results not only change Jill's mind but transform her life in ways she never could have imagined. An exciting, faith-building thriller!
Pascal's Pens es is a masterpiece, and a landmark in French literature. This is Pascal's most influential theological work in it he surveys several philosophical paradoxes: infinity and nothing, faith and reason, soul and matter, death and life, meaning and vanity-seemingly arriving at no definitive conclusions besides humility, ignorance, and grace.
Reily was just your average laid-back guy, but when an unfortunate motorcycle accident led to his untimely death, he discovers an entirely new world beyond what he thought existed. Stuck in a place that's not quite Heaven and not yet Hell, Reily is joined by two fellow spirits who help him on his journey to discover where he is, why he is there, and what, if anything, can he do about it. Pascal's Loophole by Bret Callentine is a story of redemption, discovery, and spirituality. Readers will witness Reily's post death adventures, feeding their own curiosity right along with the characters and find the comfort offered through a faith in God. Follow along as Reily learns the truth about eternal life after death, the ultimate sacrifice made by Christ for us and the true meaning of the words faith, fellowship, and forgiveness. Inspired by C.S. Lewis and his ability to make complex philosophical and theological concepts more relatable and accessible, Bret Callentine creates an entertaining story that weaves in significant biblical and existential themes. Bret's desire to use his God-given talents to their full potential helped him craft a narrative that reveals the consequences of leading a self-centered life instead of one interested in understanding the grace, mercy, and peace of a loving God. An Ohio native, Bret Callentine grew up in and through the church, undertaking mission trips as a young child, receiving the Boy Scout's God and Country award as a teen, and being elected to his first of many church leadership roles by age twenty-one. Bret earned his master's degree in theological studies from Rawlings School of Divinity at Liberty University, which aided his continual passion and commitment to church ministry and evangelical work. His first published work, Not Fatherless-A Biblical Study in Christian Fatherhood is available on Amazon.com.

O que poderia ter, possivelmente, trazer o jornalista Pierre Verger para passar a segunda parte da vida adora o da religi o dos Iorub s, na frica e no Brasil? O que pode muito bem magnetizar tantos pesquisadores franceses para o candombl , a maneira que as universidades da Fran a eram conhecidos defesas de tese de doutorado mais sobre esse assunto do que todas na Am rica do Sul juntos? O que pode trazer um bret o, mu ulmano e ma om como eu, em um terreiro nas profundezas da serra que domina o Rio de Janeiro?A resposta simples para mim: um casamento fracassado com um impostor amazonense, um c ncer do linfoma e um encontro espiritual determinado. Eu n o acredito em acidentes, acho como falou o fil sofo brasileiro Paulo Coelho que o universo inteiro conspira para nossa felicidade, pelo menos para o nosso progresso espiritual. De fato, esses dois eventos dram ticos para uma pessoa racionalista foram para mim motores incrivelmente generosos da minha exist ncia. Do lado de fora, eu poderia ser considerado desanimado, mas de dentro, eu empurrei meus galhos mais e mais para o c u e estendi minhas ra zes mais profundas.N o sei se temos um pre o a pagar neste mundo, para nos libertar de suas ilus es e de sua seguran a imposs vel. No entanto, essas prova es caras, humanamente e financeiramente, levaram-me a uma das experi ncias espirituais mais intensas da minha vida. Gra as a Deus, esse deus que um Brasileiro e que aprendeu a mais conhecer no Brasil.
