About
On November 22, 1963, three great men died within a few hours of each other: C. S. Lewis, John F. Kennedy and Aldous Huxley. All three believed, in different ways, that death is not the end of human life. Suppose they were right, and suppose they met after death. How might the conversation go?
Peter Kreeft imagines their discussion as part of the great conversation that has been going on for centuries about life's biggest questions. Does human life have meaning? Is it possible to know about life after death? What if one could prove that Jesus was God? With Kennedy taking the role of a modern humanist, Lewis representing Christian theism and Huxley advocating Eastern pantheism, the dialogue is lively and informative.
With clarity and wit, Between Heaven and Hell presents insightful responses to common objections to the Christian faith. This classic apologetics work is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.

Reviews
"For years I'd 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. I'm excited to see it become available in a new edition."

"Clarity, simplicity, and humor are rare combinations in books addressing philosophy and history. Yet all three converge in Kreeft's Between Heaven and Hell. But another ingredient in this work is fairness. Kreeft's imagined dialog doesn't stack the deck in Christianity's favor. Instead, he presents formidable counterarguments and objections that are true to the positions Huxley and Kennedy held.
