This volume, three separate books in one edition, is a collection of Josef Pieper\'s famous treatises on the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love.
He discusses not only the theological virtue of caritas-agape , but also of eros, sexuality, and even Love of music and wine..
Pieper now feels that this is the most important book he has written.
His most difficult work, one that he struggled with for years - and almost abandoned - was his work On Love .
His philosophical treatise on Faith was derived from a series of lectures he gave in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The first of the three that he wrote, On Hope , was written in 1934 in response to the general feeling of despair of those times.
Each of these treatises was originally published as a separate work over a period of thirty-seven years, and here they are brought together in English for the first time.
