The zenith of Pope Saint John Paul II's thought on the human person, marriage, and the family is found in his theology of the body, published by Pauline Books & Media as a series of talks entitled Man and Woman He Created Them. In "Theology of the Body in Context: Genesis and Growth," William E. May, PhD, provides a concise yet comprehensive and readable overview of John Paul II's work in the context of his other key writings. May surveys two of John Paul II's earlier works (Love and Responsibility and Familiaris consortio) as well as two later apostolic letters (Mulieris dignitatem and Letter to Families) to draw out the consistency and richness of John Paul II's teaching and its significance for the Church today.

"William E. May is one of my heroes. I am a former student of his, and his clear thinking and wit has left an indelible mark on my life. Reading Theology of the Body in Context was like being back in his classroom-an illuminating, thought-provoking joy. I've been awaiting just such a book, and May is the perfect one to have written it."
Christopher West, Theology of the Body Institute
"What a rich, illuminating resource! William May has presented John Paul II's revolutionary defense of love penned at a time when societies often undercut love. Brimming with insight, this book is an invaluable companion for anyone seeking today to 'discover the beauty and grandeur of the vocation to love.'"
Carl Anderson, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus
