We are like that child, evil is like the fire, our ignorance is like the smoke, God is like the firefighter, and Christ is like the safety net.

Peter Kreeft

Peter Kreeft (* 1937) ist ein US-amerikanischer Philosophieprofessor und katholischer Apologet, der seit 1965 am Boston College lehrt. Bekannt wurde der aus dem Calvinismus konvertierte Denker durch zahlreiche Publikationen, in denen er thomistische Philosophie und sokratische Dialoge allgemeinverständlich zur Erklärung des Glaubens nutzt. Für Bibelleser bietet sein Werk pointierte Gedanken zu existentiellen Lebens- und Ethikfragen, wenngleich seine Ablehnung des reformatorischen Schriftprinzips und populärphilosophische Vereinfachungen Kritik hervorrufen.
