A haunted coastline. A Muslim philosopher. A prophecy about “hastening the sun.” In his only novel, Peter Kreeft trades syllogisms for sea storms and gives us ‘Isa ben Adam—philosopher, fighter, lover, possible messiah, definite troublemaker. Raised on the rocky shores of New England, ‘Isa grows up believing the ocean breathes because an angel lives inside it. He may be right.
Playful, tragic, and audaciously hopeful, An Ocean Full of Angels explores the unseen drama beneath modern history, where Islam and Christianity collide and grace moves like a hidden tide beneath ordinary lives. Kreeft writes with the wit of Chesterton and the moral fire of Dostoevsky, inviting readers to discover a world far more crowded—and far more meaningful—than it appears. Salad Social will be Thursday, August 20th, 6:00pm in the Church Conference Room.
