John Paul II\u2019s <\/span>The Theology of the Body <\/em><\/span><\/span>remains a masterwork of Catholic teaching \u2014 an invaluable guide to understanding the spiritual communion of life, love, marriage, and sexuality. But previous editions of the work were based on individual Italian transcriptions of the 129 catecheses the Pope delivered between 1979 and 1984, resulting in many translation inconsistencies, inadvertent omissions, and intentional edits. While they were theologically true and pedagogically helpful, nevertheless these editions lacked the coherence originally conceived by Cardinal Karol Wojtyla.<\/p>\n

Pauline Books and Media presents <\/span>The Theology of the Body: A New Translation Based on the John Paul II Archives<\/em><\/strong><\/span>, a brand new translation based on a previously unknown version of the text discovered in Vatican Archives by acclaimed biblical scholar Michael M. Waldstein, Th.D. Now, for the first time in 22 years, the true beauty of <\/span>The Theology of the Body<\/em><\/span> can be appreciated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition, this edition has the subheads which the Pope included, but were not included in the previous editions. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Janet E. Smith has recorded a new 12-talk set on sexuality, including an updated version of her well-known and excellent "Contraception:Why Not."<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That previous link is to a CD version. There’s an mp3 version available for download at a third of the cost of the CD set, here.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
