In the early autumn of 1979, Pope John Paul II introduced to the universal Church his teaching on the theology of the body during a series of general audiences. As Karol Wojtyla, he had already published in Poland Love and Responsibility and The Acting Person and given lectures on the family and parenthood as a community of persons. These lectures are now available in English in Person and Community.

The Past 50 Years

Thus, for 20 years before his general audiences on TOB, he had been developing philosophical and theological arguments about the nature and identity of human persons, called into integral relations in ways specified by a particular vocation.

VATICAN CITY — The second volume of Pope Benedict XVI’s work “Jesus of Nazareth” is a “fascinating and liberating” book that could usher in a new theological era, Cardinal Marc Ouellet said today at the Vatican’s book launch.

The prefect of the Congregation for Bishops said the 384-page book, which covers the period of Holy Week, transports the reader “along steep paths to the riveting encounter with Jesus, a familiar figure who is revealed to be even closer in his humanity as he is in his divinity.”

In the book entitled “Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week — From the Entrance Into Jerusalem to the Resurrection,” Benedict presents the Passion and Resurrection of Christ as history-changing events...READ MORE

As he gazes down from the window of the Father’s house at the exuberant fans of his theology of the body, John Paul II must be smiling. How could the Pope who once exhorted the Church to “put out into the deep” in quest of the New Evangelization not be pleased?

After all, nothing could be nearer the heart of the New Evangelization than the true meaning of sex, right? Or is that right? Or, just as crucially, is sex really what theology of the body is all about?

Not according to Michael Waldstein, translator of the definitive English version of the 129 Wednesday audiences containing John Paul II’s teaching on married love, celibacy and fruitfulness. In a 2010 summer course, Waldstein did...READ MORE
