Table of Contents PrologueThe DialogEpiloguePostscriptAppendix A: A World Without an EasterAppendix B: Outline to Between Heaven and HellIndex Review "For years Id heard about this book. Some time ago, I decided to read it. I was not disappointed. If you want to read an engaging book that shows the collision of three worldviews, you can hardly find a better one than this. Im excited to see it become available in a new edition." -- Trevin Wax, general editor of The Gospel Project and author of Rethink Your Self"So often reason and imagination are seen in tension or conflict, but Kreefts classic piece of posthumous fictional dialog powerfully illustrates the prospect of their seamless integration. Rife with no-nonsense uncommon common sense, not to mention unapologetic apologetics, it explores timely and timeless questions—from the nature and primacy of reality to the power and purpose of evidence, argument, and even debate—in an utterly charming, engaging way. Eminently readable and a veritable delight to relish, it takes truth with sober seriousness yet also with playfulness, creativity, and a winsomely light touch. Its longevity and enduring impact are no mystery." -- David Baggett, professor of philosophy and director of the Center for Moral Apologetics, Houston Baptist University"Clarity, simplicity, and humor are rare combinations in books addressing philosophy and history. Yet all three converge in Kreefts Between Heaven and Hell. But another ingredient in this work is fairness. Kreefts imagined dialog doesnt stack the deck in Christianitys favor. Instead, he presents formidable counterarguments and objections that are true to the positions Huxley and Kennedy held. And the new material, a dialog that imagines A World Without an Easter, is poignant and powerful. This short book will have a long effect on every reader." -- Abdu Murray, author and speaker"Revealing and easy to read." -- David Mills, The Pittsburgh Catholic, December 2009 Long Description On November 22, 1963, three great men died within a few hours of each other: C.
