Published by Ignatius Press in 2021, this book is a study of Mary of Nazareth, written after Kreeft noticed he had left women out of Socrates' Children. Defining philosophy as the love of wisdom, he argues that if Christ is wisdom incarnate and Mary loved him more than anyone, she is the greatest philosopher.
