And before I do that, I wanted to warm up by doing an analysis and evaluation of Peter Kreeft’s Unmoved-Mover … The Unmoved Mover Argument – Part 2: Geisler’s Thomist Argument

In July of 2018, I finished examining his case for God, which consists of 20 arguments for God. Here are … Peter Kreeft’s Case for God
