Why Does Everything Come in Threes?: A Short Book about Everything

Peter Kreeft

Since the beginnings of the Church, much has been written about the Trinity in the Creator. In this accessible book for ordinary Christians, Peter Kreeft reflects on a different topic: the Trinity in the creation.

Because, as G. K. Chesterton put it, in creating us, God "broke His own law, and made a graven image of Himself", it comes as no surprise that we find a Trinitarian structure embedded in our lives--not to mention the universe itself. While the fact that so many things come in threes does not prove the dogma of the Trinity, it does give powerful clues to this truth about the nature of ultimate reality.

Join the journey with Peter Kreeft and explore the threefold structure of everything.

Praise for this book

"Kreeft ingeniously unveils the triune dynamic in our universe, selves, souls, and stories -- a dynamic that characterizes God. This book is a true inspiration from one who has immersed himself in the heart of Christ."
-- Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., Ph.D., Author, God So Loved the World and The Soul's Upward Yearning

"Aristotle, endeavoring to understand why space comes in three dimensions, observed this perfection in the number three: it is the number of a beginning, middle, and end, of an 'all, ' and for that reason, he said, it is used in the worship of the gods. If a pagan philosopher cannot but notice some special significance of three permeating the world, much more must a wise Catholic be able to elaborate on the fact. That is just what Kreeft has done in this edifying book."
-- Michael Augros, Ph.D., Author, Who Designed the Designer? and The Immortal in You
