Using the Chevalier edition, these are grouped to present a logical development of three themes, \"The State of Man in Ignorance of God,\" \"The Wager,\" and \"The Christian Life.\" This translation closely follows the French text (cross-referenced with the paragraph numbers of the Brunschvicg edition) and does not conceal the fragmentary style of the original. Translated and edited by Arthur H. Beattie, this volume also contains an introduction, a list of principal dates in the life of Pascal, and a bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlaise Pascal\u003c\/b\u003e was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian.
