Author: Pope John Paul II

Description:
Each Wednesday the Pope addresses a general audience at St. Peter’s in Rome. This work brilliantly brings together all of Pope John Paul II’s general audiences that comprise his “theology of the body.” Given between September 1979 and November 1984, these talks provide a thorough catechesis on the bodily dimension of human personhood, sexuality, and marriage in the ligh to Christ and biblical revelation. As a whole, the work presents an insightful look at the meaning of the body. It is a much needed work for our troubled times. The appendix features the Encyclicals Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life) and Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life), and the Apostolic Letter On the Dignity and Vocation of Women.
