About Theology Of The Body For Beginners: Rediscovering
About the Author Christopher West is a proud husband and father of five. He is also the world s most recognized teacher and promoter of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. As founder and president of the Cor Project, he leads a global outreach and membership organization devoted to helping others learn, live, and share this liberating teaching. He is a cofounder of the Theology of the Body Institute; the intensive courses he teaches there attract students from around the world. His extensive lecturing and numerous best-selling books, articles, and video programs have sparked an international groundswell of interest in the Theology of the Body, and his work has been featured in the New York Times; on ABC News, Fox News, and MSNBC; and in countless Catholic and Protestant media outlets. Product Description Divorce. Broken families. Sexual abuse. Addiction. Pornography. Same-sex "marriage." Gender issues. Everywhere we look, we find more and more confusion about the most fundamental truths of human life. As we lose our basic understanding of the meanings of man, woman, marriage, and sex, the question becomes ever more urgent: What does it mean to be a human being? Against this backdrop, St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body appears as a bright light in the darkness. His writings go straight to the heart of what it means to be fully human—but they are often difficult for most of us to grasp easily. That's where Christopher West comes in. He covers the main points of this revolutionary teaching in a way that you can understand. You'll see desire—physical, emotional, and spiritual—in a whole new light! The first edition of this book was released in 2004 and instantly became an international best seller. In this updated, revised, and expanded edition, you'll have access to key insights gleaned from West's ongoing study on the subject, as well as wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. You'll also discover brand-new insights on how to respond with clarity and compassion to the gender chaos so prevalent in our world today. Review This book offers a clear, succinct presentation of Saint John Paul II's important ideas and is a helpful and necessary resource for catechists, evangelists, indeed all people. I'm grateful to Christopher West for making these teachings accessible to a general audience. --Bishop Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles and founder of Word on Fire
