Understanding Love & Responsibility
Dr. Richard Spinello is an associate research professor at Boston College and a member of the adjunct faculty at St. John's Seminary in Boston. He is the author of The Genius of John Paul II: The Great Pope's Moral Wisdom, The Encyclicals of John Paul II: An Introduction and Commentary, along with numerous other books and articles on ethical theory and applied ethics.
"Understanding Love and Responsibility should play a major role in drawing thirsty souls into the mind, heart, and thought of one of civilization's greatest men on the issues of our age. Kudos!"
Damon Owens, Executive Director, Theology of the Body Institute
"If you really want to understand the theology of the body, you need to understand Love and Responsibility. Now you can, even without a philosophy degree!"
Angela Franks, PhD, author of Contraception and Catholicism: What the Church Teaches and Why
"[Richard Spinello's] commentary will help anyone who is looking to absorb the richness of the late Holy Father's thought."
Jason Evert, author of Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves
"Dr. Spinello's companion to Love and Responsibility is a winner... Spinello 'undensifies' the often dense work of Papa Wojtyla, enlarging on it and making it even more useful to all."
Sr. Helena Burns, FSP, Theology of the Body speaker, and author of He Speaks to You
