Discover the authentic meaning of human love in this groundbreaking book by Karol Wojtyla, the future Pope John Paul II. Originally published in Polish in 1960, Love and Responsibility explains the relationships between persons in the context of human dignity, giving special attention to the ethics that govern sexual relationships. This updated edition of Wojtyla's classic work is an English translation of the revised Polish text published in 2001 with updates by John Paul II himself. This volume also features the first English translation of the article "On the Meaning of Spousal Love," also by Wojtyla, which continues his reflections on the topic. Masterfully translated by Grzegorz Ignatik, Love and Responsibility includes notes that define key terms, including Latin words and phrases, and comprehensive information on language nuances and major concepts. An enriching complement to John Paul II's masterwork, "Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body."

Born in 1920 to a devout Catholic family in Poland, Karol Wojtyla was ordained a priest in 1946. He carried out an effective pastoral ministry, continued higher studies, and taught at the university level. Ordained a bishop in 1958, he fearlessly confronted the communist authorities in Poland. He took part in the Second Vatican Council and implemented the Council's reforms at home. After being elected Pope on October 16, 1978, he led the Church for the next twenty-six years in a remarkable and memorable way. Throughout his priesthood Karol Wojtyla was keenly concerned about the problems and possibilities of married love and family life. In Love and Responsibility, he wrote about the human person as being called to love and thus enabled to find happiness and fulfillment in the gift of oneself.
"This new translation of Love and Responsibility, based on Pope John Paul II's revisions and with the addition of an important later article, is a major achievement. The translator is to be congratulated for his clear and faithful text as well as for his wonderfully thoughtful notes."
