http://schema.org/description

  • "Pope John Paul II is the second longest serving pope in history and the longest serving pope of the last century. His presence has thrown a long shadow across our time, and his influence on Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the world cannot be denied. [This book provides] a systematic and thorough analysis of the moral theology that underlies his moral teachings and its astonishing influence. [The author] focuses on the authoritative statements, specifically the fourteen papal encyclicals the pope has written over the past twenty-five years, to examine how well the pope has addressed the broad issues and problems in the Church today. [The author] begins with a discussion of the theological presuppositions of John Paul II's moral teaching and moral theology. Subsequent chapters address his theological methodology, his ethical methodology, and his fundamental moral theology together with his understanding of human life. Finally, [the author] deals with the specific issues of globalization, marriage, conscience, human acts, and the many issues involved in social and sexual ethics.-Dust jacket."
