··· ··· ··· ··· Ronald Nash presents this engaging argument using the number one to reason that an eternal Mind must exist. During this college lecture on apologetics he recounts an amusing anecdote of the time he taught a high school philosophy course. Lecture Outline God's Existence: An Argument from the Number One 1. The number one is a concept or idea. 2. Ideas can only exist in minds. 3. The number one is eternal 4. The number one is immutable. 5. The number one must exist independently of human minds. 6. There must exist an eternal and immutable mind.

··· ··· ··· ··· Prof. Peter Kreeft offers the poignant but oft-neglected 4th century Augustinian argument (further developed by C.S. Lewis in the 20th century) for God's existence from man's deepest longing. Dispensing with shopworn syllogisms and detached philosophical ruminations Kreeft compellingly draws us to the human heart - the instrument that inexorably leads us to the knowledge of God. His lyrical prose ably complements the subject without compromising its propositional integrity.
