5/12/25 - Join us for a rich and thought-provoking conversation with acclaimed Catholic philosopher and author Dr. Peter Kreeft as we explore two of his latest books: The Mystery of Joy and From Calvinist to Catholic: 13 Stories of Conversion.

In The Mystery of Joy, Dr. Kreeft reflects on the deep spiritual meaning of joy—not as mere emotional happiness, but as a profound mystery rooted in the nature of God Himself. Drawing on Scripture, the writings of C.S. Lewis, and the saints, Kreeft unpacks how joy can be found even amidst suffering and why it is the ultimate fulfillment of the human heart.

We also discuss From Calvinist to Catholic, a collection of compelling conversion stories—including his own—that chart the intellectual, theological, and personal journeys of former Calvinists who found their way into the Catholic Church. Dr. Kreeft offers insights into the shared theological foundations between Reformed and Catholic traditions, while highlighting the sacramental, historical, and spiritual richness that drew these converts home to Rome.

With his trademark clarity, wit, and wisdom, Dr. Kreeft challenges us to seek the fullness of truth and the joy that comes from encountering Christ in the heart of the Catholic faith.
