The Human Person: According to John Paul II

What does it mean to be human? In the 20th Century three social revolutions-the industrial, sexual and technological revolutions-challenged the religious convictions of many. John Paul II's teaching on the theology of the body was his response to the resulting societal shifts. In this volume, Fr. Bransfield has done what no other author has: he explores John Paul's response to the challenges raised by these revolutions. In this context Bransfield then explores how TOB leads us to live the fullness of the Christian life. • Ideal for readers interested in Theology of the Body • Accessible and readable exploration of John Paul II's writings • Points out how an understanding of the theology of the body leads to life in the Spirit • Reflections on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the virtues and the beatitudes
