Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body

One of the most profound and life-changing theological works of the modern era. Pope Saint John Paul II’s Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body presents a breathtaking vision of the human person as a gift, created in love and for love. Rooted deeply in Sacred Scripture, the Pope’s 129 Wednesday audiences unfold God’s original plan for humanity, the meaning of the body, and the beauty of human sexuality as a reflection of the Trinitarian self-gift of love. Addressing marriage, celibacy, chastity, family life, and the redemption of the body, this masterwork offers a compelling, hope-filled response to the confusion of our age about identity, love, and the meaning of life itself. In this definitive edition, internationally renowned scholar Dr. Michael Waldstein provides a faithful translation that includes previously unpublished sections, the Pope’s original titles and subtitles, and clear thematic headings that make the material more accessible than ever.
