"This fully ecumenical understanding of sexuality is less about following the rules than about discovering the freedom of living in truth." —First ThingsIn 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
This began with the original writings given to us by Saint John Paul II and collected by the Daughters of Saint Paul which they published as Original Unity of Man and Woman: Catechesis on the Book of Genesis. Although IMHO it was one of the greatest contributions to the Theology of Marriage and our understanding of the beauty of how God created us, and the purpose of why he created us, it was extremely deep and philosophical. Christopher West boiled it down into a teachable format which became known as the Theology of the Body, another advance in being able to spread the wealth of this work, even to young people. This now has been republished here in "simple language." Hopefully this will increase the availability of this teaching to many more people. It's a shame it's not known better.
