Mind on Fire is an easy-to-read translation of the classic Pensees by Blaise Pascal. Here the remarkable seventeenth-century mathematician, physicist, and religious thinker presents his uncompromising defense of the Christian faith a rigorous refutation of the myth that to become a Christian is to commit intellectual suicide. Dr. James Houston has arranged Pascal's seemingly random meditations into a logical progression of thought the first time ever that an editor has carried out Pascal's original intention for his Pensees. Also included are selections from Pascal's Letters to a Provincial, Pascal's own description of his conversion.
