The Human Person

Description

In The Human Person, J. Brian Bransfield presents the teachings of Pope John Paul II on human nature in accessible, understandable language. He teaches lessons from the Theology of the Body on how to live a fully human and fully Christian life. The question “What does it mean to be human” is one of the most important questions we can ask. It is at the heart of much of our cultural and moral conflict. The industrial, sexual, and technological revolutions have all affected the way we define human nature as a culture. Modernism discards the notion of a shared human nature altogether. In sharp contrast to these philosophies that threaten human dignity stands the Church. Pope John Paul II is one of the strongest defenders of human dignity.

In this accessible introduction to the theology of the body (TOB) of Pope Saint John Paul II, Monsignor Brian Bransfield provides a systematic approach to TOB and its implications for Christian living.
