| What would happen if Socrates--yes the Socrates of ancient Athens--suddenly awoke on the campus of a major university and enrolled in the divinity school? What would he think of human progress since his day? --How would he react to our values? To our culture? --And what would he think of Jesus?
Peter Kreeft, Christian philosopher and long-time admirer of the historic Socrates, imagines the result. In this drama Socrates meets such fellow students as Bertha Broadmind, Thomas Keptic and Molly Mooney. The author's new introduction for this edition highlights the inspiration for this book and the key questions of truth and faith it addresses. Throughout, Kreeft weaves an intriguing web as he brings Socrates closer and closer to a meeting with Jesus. Along the way we see reason used wisely. The effect is startling. A dramatic portrayal of reason in search of truth.
