Love and Responsibility answers the timeless question of the human heart: how can I find happiness in love? This ground-breaking book explains relationships between persons, especially concerning sexual ethics, in the perspective of the true meaning of love-themes that Karol Wojtyla (now Blessed John Paul II) explored in his extensive pastoral work among young people and married couples. This work is complementary to Blessed John Paul II's theology of the body and is a must-read for those interested in understanding his thought more fully. Grzegorz Ignatik's new translation makes it easier for readers to grasp Wojtyla's key concepts. The text used is the 2001 version published in Polish, which includes revisions made by Blessed John Paul II himself of the original 1960 edition. Ample notes clarify the meaning of various words and ideas, providing a fuller context for understanding. Also included is the first English publication of then-Cardinal Wojtula's article On the Meaning of Spousal Love, in which he continues his reflections on the topic. While Love and Responsibility remains a challenging work on many levels, this masterful translation will greatly assist in opening Wojtyla's thought to an even wider audience.
