Blaise Pascal, the remarkable seventeenth-century mathematician,
physicist, and religious thinker, rigorously refutes the belief
that to become a Christian you must first commit intellectual
suicide. He wrote to communicate the Christian faith to the
skeptical, to the indifferent, to the hostile. Many regard him as
the greatest of French prose writers. After his conversion at the
age of thirty-one, Pascal records how his mind blazed with the
burning conviction of being overwhelmed with light. For many years
he had examined God merely as a series of concepts. Now he stood
before God's presence and the reality of God Himself, the same God
who had appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It was this that now
gave him "joy, joy, joy, tears of joy." The Mind on Fire contains
Pascals' Pensees, a systematic and uncompromising defense of
Christian belief, along with selections from his Letters to a
Provincial, his own description of his conversion, and a prayer for
the proper use of pain in his life. Dr. James M. Houston, editor of
the Classics of Faith and Devotion series, is a highly acclaimed
scholar and pioneer in the field of evangelical spirituality. He
came to North America from England in 1968 to lead Regent College
in Vancouver, Canada, a worldwide center of spiritual formation.
