Originally published in 1942, this book constitutes the companion volume to The Heart of Pascal (1945); both volumes were formed using selections from Pascal's Pensees. The text gathers together a series of selections, presented in French, which illustrate Pascal's Christian faith and thoughts on the relationship between man and God.

First published in 1923, as part of the Cambridge Plain Texts series, this volume contains a selection of Pascal's Lettres ecrites a un provincial.

This 1908 book contains selections from Pascal's Pensees, translated into English. The first part concerns the 'Misery of Man without God'; the second part discusses the 'Happiness of Man with God'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pascal and his theological ideas.

Pascal was a scientist and man of the world who came to be a passionately devout Christian. The fragments of his great defense of Christianity, left unfinished at his death in 1662, survive in the form of the Pensees. These thoughts expose Pascal's vision of the world and display powerful reasoning and a profound faith.
