Apologist Profile: Dr. Peter Kreeft


Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., is a professor of philosophy at Boston College and at the King's College (Empire State Building), in New York City.

He is a regular contributor to several Christian publications, is in wide demand as a speaker at conferences, and is the author of over 45 books. [1]

Although Kreeft and myself differ on numerous theological issues (he is Catholic), I find his work to be extremely thought-provoking and relevant. For those not familiar with Dr. Kreeft, you may have read an interview with him in Lee Strobel's book, The Case for Faith.

Educational Background

Kreeft took his A.B. at
Calvin College (1959), and an M.A. at Fordham University (1961). In the same university he completed his doctoral studies 1965. He briefly did post graduate studies at Yale University
.

Dr. Kreeft has received several honors for achievements in philosophical reasoning. They include the following: Woodrow Wilson, Yale-Sterling Fellowship, Newman Alumni Scholarship, Danforth Asian Religions Fellowship, and Weathersfield Homeland Foundation Fellowship. [2]
