Like every religion, this faith has three aspects, corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three divisions as the basic outline for his Christian apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some practice or program, some moral or ethical code, something for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including the Catholic Faith of Christians.

Despite the fact that, being Protestant, I disagree with many of the things Kreeft says, I nonetheless found this book to be very valuable because a) it presented challenging arguments in favor of Roman Catholicism from a Roman Catholic perspective and b) it strengthened my ever growing appreciation for Roman Catholicism itself. In this book Kreeft not only gives a basis for theism in general but offers some compelling arguments for Roman Catholic theology - any Protestants who read this book wi Despite the fact that, being Protestant, I disagree with many of the things Kreeft says, I nonetheless found this book to be very valuable because a) it presented challenging arguments in favor of Roman Catholicism from a Roman Catholic perspective and b) it strengthened my ever growing appreciation for Roman Catholicism itself. In this book Kreeft not only gives a basis for theism in general but offers some compelling arguments for Roman Catholic theology - any Protestants who read this book will likely find many of their common preconceptions about Roman Catholicism dispelled or refuted. I found it valuable to see things from another perspective. Well written and pleasant. Recommended.

Excellent primer on Christianity from a Catholic apologetic viewpoint. The chapters are brief but to the point. There are questionable doctrines for the more conservative orthodox, ie: anonymous Christianity, yet the content does not compromise the fundamentals of orthodox Christianity. Kreeft hopes Protestants and Catholics will reunite by Protestants admitting they are wrong and by Catholics admitting they have been wrong. A very good, but brief, introduction.

I read this during my benighted and uncompleted Catholic confirmation class, and I didn't manage to finish it before I quit to pursue a dilettante life of degenerate and loose morals. But I must say, ol' Catholic standby Kreeft made some very, very good arguments for Christianity . Were I still Christian and trying to persuade an intelligent person to convert, I would hand them this. The man can write. What creative ideas he managed to spin out of his crafty little mind to justify hell.

This book, though perhaps not on the same level as Mere Christianity and Orthodoxy, I'd perhaps better than those two books at systematically exploring arguments for the faith and what Christians believe. Although like many other Kreeft readers, I don't share his Catholic faith, he still provides many ideas to mull over.

I most definitely preferred Kreeft's other writings, specifically those on Socrates' philosophy. Though this book was difficult to fully grasp due to his lack of inclusivity when it came to Protestant belief, I can't deny the fact that I learned a significant amount of clarifying explanations of the Christian faith. Kreeft is an excellent writer of philosophy. I most definitely preferred Kreeft's other writings, specifically those on Socrates' philosophy.
