Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body become such a “hot button” topic in the church today? In this illuminating and comprehensive analysis, Fr. Richard M. Hogan explains why these teachings speak so powerfully to a new generation of believers. At the heart of John Paul’s series of talks is the unchanging truth that we are created in God’s image, and so are called to love as God loves and to express that love in and through our bodies. Marriage, sexuality, celibacy, virginity, the resurrection of the body—all of these issues are covered within the pope’s expansive framework. Guided by Fr. Hogan, readers will gain a deeper understanding of important aspects of their Catholic faith while they grow in appreciation of the pope’s ability to address controversial moral topics in a new and groundbreaking way.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distressful present condition of the sexual promiscuity of the humanity calls the researcher's attention. Does man understand sex? What does sexual love mean? The contemporary generation has shifted paradigm. The present human condition has created a sexual liberation which has gone against human nature as creatures endowed with intellect and will. Man has been instinctual which neglected the two faculties especially given by God to human persons and went way long to perversion in essence of his very nature. This is a poignant reality of a conservative culture populated by Catholic faithful in the Philippines. The sudden shift of lifestyle influenced by other countries and cultures, the influence of the social and mass media, the evil of poverty, the ideology of liberalism and relativism and most importantly the debilitated culture of each domestic Church are some of the facets that constituted the perverted function of people's understanding of sexuality. The research, An Analysis of St. Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body : Towards a Catholic Approach to the Gift of Sex and Sexuality, covers five major chapters. Chapter one is a presentation of the problem, it serves as an introduction of the research. Chaper two will restate the theology of the body of St. Pope John Paul II. Theology of the Body is the topic of a series of 129 lectures given by St. Pope Paul II during his Wednesday audiences in St. Peter's Square and the Paul VI Audience Hall between September 5, 1979 and November 28, 1984. It constitutes an analysis on human sexuality, and is considered as the first major teaching of his pontificate. The complete addresses were later compiled and expanded upon in many of John Paul's encyclicals, letters, and exhortations. In Theology of the Body, St. Pope John Paul II intends to establish an adequate anthropology in which the human body reveals God. He examines man and woman before the fall, after it, and at the resurrection of the dead. He contemplates the sexual complementarity of man and woman. He explores the nature of marriage, celibacy and virginity. Chapter Three will give an analysis of sexual love from the Theology of the Body of St. Pope John Paul II. In the Theology of the Body St. Pope John Paul II relates that God is a communion of love and that people are destined to share in that exchange of love. God imprinted in person's bodies and sexuality the call to participate in a "created version" of His eternal "exchange of love". God created the human person male and female so that he/she could image the love within the Trinity by becoming a sincere gift to each other. Then sexual love becomes an image of the giving and receiving love in the heart or inner life of the Trinity. This understanding of marital intimacy helps us appreciate St. Pope John Paul II's view that human sexuality within marriage is far greater than one can imagine. Chapter four will develop a Catholic attitude towards sex and sexuality. Catholics must know that sex in itself is a good creation of God, but the perversion of sex is condemned by God. Sex is perverted when it is engaged outside of the God-ordained sphere of marriage. Sex is perverted when it is used merely for the self and for the satisfaction of one's own lusts and passions and not for the giving of marital love. Catholics are encourage to imbibe the virtues to care for their sexuality, protect themselves from any forms of sexual sins, and preserve the innocence and virginity that God gave them as a gift. Finally, the researcher draws his conclusion in chapter five. Man is specially defined based on his relationship with God. Man's being made in the image and likeness of God is very special because only man is made in His own image and likeness. After God created man He said it was very good. According to St. Pope John Paul II both the experience of solitude and the experience of original unity are expression of being made in God's image and likeness. Man became the image and likeness of God, not only through his own humanity, as an individual, but also through the communion of persons that man and woman form right from the beginning. This union reflects God inner nature, which is an eternal communion of love and of life in a union of three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Hence, the purpose why God created man in His own image is to reveal Himself to man and make Himself united with Him.
Download or read book Called to Love written by Carl Anderson and published by Image. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoughtful, accessible work on the beauty of love and the splendor of the body, inspired by Pope John Paul II. Christianity has long been regarded as viewing the body as a threat to a person's spiritual nature and of denying its sexual dimension. In 1979, Pope John Paul II departed from this traditional dichotomy and offered an integrated vision of the human body and soul. In a series of talks that came to be known as “the theology of the body,” he explained the divine meaning of human sexuality and why the body provides answers to fundamental questions about our lives. In Called to Love, Carl Anderson, chairman of the world’s largest catholic service organization, and Fr. Jose Granados discuss the philosophical and religious significance of “the theology of the body” in language at once poetic and profound. As they explain, the body speaks of God, it reveals His goodness, and it also speaks of men and women and their vocation to love. Called to Love brings to life the tremendous gift John Paul II bestowed on humanity and gives readers a new understanding of the Christian way of love and how to embrace it fully in their lives.

Download or read book In the Beginning written by Eduardo J. Echeverria and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant contributions of Pope John Paul II to the church, and arguably to the culture, was his development of a theology of the body. This theology explores the rich meaning and vocation of human embodiment, of the body-person, in light of the fundamental truths of creation, fall into sin, and redemption in Jesus Christ. In this book, Eduardo J. Echeverria inquires into the biblical, theological, and philosophical foundations of the Pope's theology of the body. In a wide-ranging discussion of a Catholic theology of revelation, biblical hermeneutics, and a biblical perspective on the Christ-centered dynamics of the moral life, Echeverria clearly establishes the fundamental principles needed for a full understanding of John Paul II's thought. He probes the philosophical foundations of the Pope's thought in the context of a Catholic theology of nature, sin, and grace. The book concludes with an analysis of the normative implications of the Pope's theology for sexual ethics and provides a novel and provocative application of the theology of the body to the morality of homosexuality. Echeverria's study of John Paul II's theology of the body helps us to make sense of how the pope's theology deepens our understanding of the Catholic teaching that "the human body shares in the dignity of the 'image of God'" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 364).
Download or read book Aquinas and the Theology of the Body written by Thomas Petri and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body catecheses has garnered tremendous popularity in theological and catechetical circles. Students of the Theology of the Body have generally interpreted it as innovative not only in its presentation of the Church's teaching on marriage and sexuality, but also as radically advancing that teaching. Aquinas and the Theology of the Body offers a somewhat different interpretation. Fr. Thomas Petri argues that the philosophy and theology of Thomas Aquinas substantially contributed to John Paul's intellectual formation, which he never abandoned. A correct interpretation of the Theology of the Body requires, therefore, a thorough understanding of Thomistic anthropology and theology, which has been mostly lacking in commentaries on the pope's important contributions on the subject of marriage and sexuality.
Download or read book Theology of the Body Extended written by Susan Windley-Daoust and published by Lectio Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2014 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope John Paul II expected theologians to expand their insights of the 129 lectures given during his Wednesday audiences in St. Peter's Square and Paul VI Audience Hall between September 1979 and November 1984. However, his integrated vision of the human person - body, soul, and spirit - has rarely gone beyond the popular topics of moral theology associated with sexuality and marriage. Now, Susan Windley-Daoust, a passionate disciple of John Paul's complete work, devoted spiritual director, and popular Assistant Professor of Theology at St. Mary's University of Minnesota, extends the Theology of the Body to what it means to be human during the experiences of childbirth, impairment, and dying. Are there spiritual signs in these bodily events that are central to the human experience? Oh yes! And the signs mysteriously and wonderfully point to God.

Book excerpt: Gift and Communion offers a critical presentation of John Paul II's theology of the body, understood in the light of Christian theological tradition.

A central thrust of Gift and Communion is to treat theology of the body - as it deserves - in all its philosophical and theological seriousness and to present it as an important stage in the historical development of Catholic theology
Download or read book UNDERSTANDING HUMAN SEXUALITY IN JOHN PAUL II S THEOLOGY OF THE BODY written by John Segun Odeyemi and published by Citiofbooks, Incorporated. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the opposing positions held by Catholic orthodoxy and modern liberal societies on questions about human sexuality, marriage and family life. The author argues that true to the nature of doctrine, some moral teachings are open to development and some dogmatic ones are irreversible. In five chapters, relying on historical analysis, a hundred-year timeline is used to examine related papal encyclicals. A review of the natural law theory from its Stoic antecedents, Thomistic scholasticism, and the philosophical 20th-century new natural law theory are examined. John Paul II's Theology of the Body is used as a subtext. Intellectual, cultural and gendered perspectives are put in dialogue while paying attention to two current issues; same-sex unions as sacramental unions and the possibility of the use of condoms as prophylaxis for discordant married persons. This work appeals to both specialists and non-specialists, scholars, students of theology and those who are interested in matters concerning the development of Christian [moral] doctrines. It can be used as a whole or in chapters for private studies, classroom work or in pastoral settings.
