4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, May 29, 2006

By	Anthony J. Warren (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book to have on hand. Pope John Paul's set of encylicals compromise a modern, comprehsensive presentation of Catholic theology. Father Donders makes these writings available to the more casual reader. Reading these encyclicals is a great way to reflect on the great pontifcate of Pope John Paul II. Highly recommended.
