In a papacy that lasted more than a quarter of a century, Pope John Paul II left a huge amount of official teaching through encyclicals, apostolic exhortations, and letters, homilies, addresses, and other published texts. This anthology has been selected from his many writings, with introductions explaining their importance and place in Catholic doctrine.
Jesuit priests Daniel Kendall, Jeffrey LaBelle, and Gerald O’Collins draw upon the most important examples of the pope’s teachings—relying on primary sources, not paraphrases—and provide comprehensive information about sources for those who wish to pursue further study. The book arranges Pope John Paul II’s teaching according to 12 themes, including revelation, the human condition, the sacraments, and spirituality. Each chapter, and some sections of chapters, have brief introductions to aid the reader.
