Why the Pope's Right,
By marianne dean (peoria, illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legacy of Pope John Paul II: His Contribution to Catholic Thought (Crossroad Faith & Formation Book) (Paperback)
So much coverage of John Paul II presents him as a politician or a superstar. This book explains his role as a thinker. And it does a good job showing the theory behind the battles at the UN and the battle to restore orthodoxy---or just a little sanity---within the Catholic church.

Papal Coronation,
By marianne dean (peoria, illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legacy of Pope John Paul II: His Contribution to Catholic Thought (Crossroad Faith & Formation Book) (Paperback)
John Paul II, the philosopher pope, is the most intriguing thinker of our time. But it's not easy to plow through the mass of encyclicals, adresseses, and books. This work provides an excellent study of the Pope's thought. Special kudos to John Crosby for showing the phenomenological side of the pope and to Joseph Koterski for unraveling the Thomist side.

Very helpful,
By C.J.A. (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Legacy of Pope John Paul II: His Contribution to Catholic Thought (Crossroad Faith & Formation Book) (Paperback)
Dr. John F. Crosby's "The Mystery of 'Fair Love,'" contained in this collection of essays, is one of the best introductions to Pope John Paul II's theological anthropology, "theology of the body," and thought on human sexuality available. Rarely does one find such insight and concise clarity in one place. Follow up this essay with the Pope's works collected in Pope John Paul II on the Genius of Women and/or Theology of the Body, both available through Amazon.
