Publisher's Summary
On November 22, 1963, three great men died within a few hours of each other: C. S. Lewis, John F. Kennedy, and Aldous Huxley. All three believed, in different ways, that death is not the end of human life. Suppose they were right, and suppose they met after death. How might the conversation go? Peter Kreeft imagines their discussion as a part of The Great Conversation that has been going on for centuries. Does human life have meaning? Is it possible to know about life after death? What if one could prove that Jesus was God? With Kennedy taking the role of a modern humanist, Lewis representing Christian theism and Huxley advocating Eastern pantheism, the dialogue is lively and informative. This new edition of this classic work includes a postscript in which Kreeft describes why and how he wrote what has remained a standard of apologetic literature for a generation. He also adds an outline and index to the book, as well as a never-before-published dialog in which he imagines "A World Without an Easter". Now more than ever, this book offers an animated interaction that involves not only good thinking but good drama.

Life changing
I have now listened to several books by Professor Kreeft, after really enjoying his course on ethics.
This one has been my favorite so far.
After listening to this book, with great enjoyment, I went on a ravenous quest for all things CS Lewis. I have never read him before, though I have heard of him after moving to New Zealand from Russia.
But this book made CS Lewis, his philosophy and style so compelling, that I couldn't wait a second longer. I have since started reading the Chronicles of Narnia (thought I'd start as if I was growing up in the West, so I can read it to my kids) and parallel to the series, I'm also listening to Mere Christianity (amazing book, simply amazing). I have put Screwtape Letters and Abolition of Man on my wishlist.
Thank you, Professor Kreeft. You have opened the world to me, yet again.
