Blaise PascalApologist to Skeptics\nAuthor(s): Charles Sherrard MacKenzie\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University Press of America, United States\nImprint: University Press of America\nISBN-13: 9780761840138, 978-0761840138\nSynopsis\nThis book focuses on Blaise Pascal's Penses, an apology for Christianity, which is regarded as Pascal's crowning achievement. Professor Charles Sherrard MacKenzie maintains that the lens best enabling us to understand Penses is his fragment on the three orders of life: mental, material, and spiritual. This analysis also highlights the frustrations Pascal encountered while making scientific discoveries, as part of his quest for certainty in his and others' faith.
