About the Book

The dignity of the person has always been a key theme of Pope John Paul II. Perhaps less well known is his emphasis on self-mastery as intrinsic to such dignity. In the love of man and woman, such mastery paves the way to self-giving and provides a richer, deeper experience of the union of persons. It also gives a new sensitivity to the beauty of masculinity and femininity as sexuality is seen in its original holiness: that is, by sharing in the Creator’s vision of the body. In this book, the author traces this daring portrait of human love back to the early writings of Karol Wojtyła.

Review :
« In studying Fr O’Sullivan’s work, I learned and discovered much that was fresh and illuminating for me.» (Michael Waldstein, Max Seckler Professor of Theology, Ave Maria University, Florida) « Alan O'Sullivan attempts, as few have done, to see the affinities between Wojtyła’s work and the theology of St Thomas Aquinas. He provides new and helpful insights into how Aquinas’ doctrine of knowledge by connaturality can provide a framework for understanding John Paul’s teaching concerning chastity’s role in enabling couples to discover the spousal meaning of the body. » (Michael Sherwin OP, Professor of Moral Theology, University of Fribourg)
