by Philokalia Books (Author), Pope John Paul II (Author)
"This fully ecumenical understanding of sexuality is less about following the rules than about discovering the freedom of living in truth." -First Things
In September of 1979, about a year after becoming pope, John Paul II began a series of reflections on love, sexuality, and the human person. These 15-minute talks, which continued for several years, became known collectively as the "Theology of the Body." This book paraphrases 86 of Pope John Paul II's talks in easy-to-understand English.
"An absolute 'must have' for Catholic Studies reference and resource shelves." -Midwest Book Review "Masterfully distills the essence of the pope's talks." -
National Catholic Register "Succeeds in bringing papal teaching on the body within the reach of the average reader."-
The British Columbia Catholic
