SAN FRANCISCO, April 1, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — While philosopher Peter Kreeft has written more than 100 books, none of them has revealed his conversion story to Catholicism from Calvinism until now. FROM CALVINIST TO CATHOLIC (Ignatius Press) is a deep dive into Kreeft’s childhood as a Dutch Calvinist in New Jersey to his time at Yale and Fordham to, ultimately, his conversion to Catholicism. Only written at the persistent urging of an editor at Ignatius Press, FROM CALVINIST TO CATHOLIC is full of Kreeft’s trademark wit and humor, engaging readers right from the beginning with tales growing up in a Dutch Reformed church, where anti-Catholicism was the norm, through the big questions he started to ask at Calvin College where, somewhat ironically, the seed of Catholicism started to grow, to, ultimately, his conversion in 1960. Readers won’t help but love this raw, human look at one of the great Catholic apologists of our time: a philosopher, a man of letters and, above all, a man of deep faith in FROM CALVINST TO CATHOLIC.
In addition to his conversion story, Peter Kreeft is also the author of the new book, THE MYSTERY OF JOY, which combines humor, logic and wit to figure out exactly the meaning of joy and why so many are totally lost on how to obtain and keep it. “This book is a work of mercy for the writer, and for the reader, an actual grace,” said Scott Hahn, author of Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism. “Like everything Peter Kreeft writes, it is inspiring, informative and entertaining. But this book is also deeply personal and straight from the heart — certainly not to be missed. I would add that Kreeft speaks effectively not only to those who are Calvinist (as I once was) but also to those Catholics who wish to understand and dialogue with the Calvinists and evangelicals in their lives.”
