In his brilliance, Pope writes in a style which is difficult for the average reader. Therefore the goal of A Simplified Version is to allow the brilliance of the Pope's thoughts to be grasped by a wider audience. All of the words, thoughts and reasoning processes in this book are the Pope's. Nothing has been watered down. Therefore the reader will see the beauty of his ideas and the clear flow of his reasoning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easier to read version, July 28, 2005
By Hairy Lime (ND, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love and Responsibility Pope John Paul II A Simplified Version (Paperback)
The writings of Pope John Paul II can be difficult to understand for the everyday reader. And at 136 pages, this is definitely a more accessible version of JP2's wordy book.

While "A Simplified Version" doesn't have an imprimatur (the Catholic Church's "seal of approval"), Walsh can't stray very far from the Pope's own words: "A Simplified Version" basically consists of the key thoughts, in everyday language, of each paragraph in the Pope's original text.

Topics covered include the sexual urge in humans, romantic love, modesty, chastity, marriage, etc. Of particular interest to me was the analysis of the true meaning of the word "shame." It has certainly gotten a bad rap in recent years.

"Love and Responsibility: A Simplified Version" is recommended for those readers that aren't quite ready to commit to reading the Pope's original book but want to know more about his theology of the body.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theology of the body, theology of the bride, November 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Love and Responsibility Pope John Paul II A Simplified Version (Paperback)
Love and Responsibility, written in the late 1950s by a then-obscure Polish academic named Karol Wojtyla, was the product of an intriguing intellectual collaboration between a priest-philosopher and his students, who were often his penitents as well. The book's analysis of the ethics of sexual love would later provide the philosophical foundation for Pope John Paul II's "theology of the body," which has drawn increasing attention as a powerful Christian counterproposal to the claims of the sexual revolution. Love and Responsibility is not, however, an easy read; Monsignor Vincent Walsh has done a service by providing this "simplified version," an outline of the argument of Love and Responsibility written in language that nonspecialists can engage. THis is from a First THings review
