DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The relevance of John Paul II's thought is not limited to the period of his pontificate; it has much to say in considering contemporary problems that arise in the areas of faith, philosophy, culture, science, politics and a wide array of social issues. Therefore, it is not enough to examine the achievements of this great pontiff. We must also think with him about the most pressing issues of our day, including culture, solidarity, mercy, Christian art, justice, democracy, contemporary ideologies and movements, the place of the Church in the modern world, and the spiritual crisis facing Europe. Thinking with St. John Paul II is a result of a series of monthly ""JP2 Lectures"" held in the academic year 2020/2021 at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas-Angelicum in Rome. The 'JP2 Lectures"" have been introduced to the Angelicum's curriculum by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture as lectures open to the public and promoting reflection on a wide range of topics in the light of St. John Paul II's intellectual and spiritual legacy. The authors of texts included in this volume are some of the most prominent intellectuals of our time from across the world/from Europe and the US. The collection of the lecture-based essays begins with a text titled ""Why Does Christianity Need Culture?"" by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, the President of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture. The lecture was originally held on October 19, 2020, in the Angelicum's Aula Magna (Aula Giovanni Paolo II) as the academic year's inaugural event. Further topics include questions relating to fundamentals of ethics, role of faith in the public sphere, political theology, meaning of art in modern Christianity, historical and ideological contexts pertaining to the past and current status of Christian culture, thought and lifestyle, and other important subjects. The common demonination of all the lectures is their reference to the teachings of St. John Paul II.

Weigel's biography is likely to remain the standard one-volume reference on John Paul II for many years to come." — Pittsburg Post-Gazette ?“Fascinating. . . sheds light on the history of the twentieth century for everyone.” —New York Times Book Review The definitive biography of Pope John Paul II that explores how influential he was on the world stage and in some of the most historic events of the twentieth century that can still be felt today Witness to Hope is the authoritative biography of one of the singular figures—some might argue the singular figure—of our time. With unprecedented cooperation from John Paul II and the people who knew and worked with him throughout his life, George Weigel offers a groundbreaking portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach to world politics—and changed the course of history. As even his critics concede, John Paul II occupied a unique place on the world stage and put down intellectual markers that no one could ignore or avoid as humanity entered a new millennium fraught with possibility and danger. The Pope was a man of prodigious energy who played a crucial, yet insufficiently explored, role in some of the most momentous events of our time, including the collapse of European communism, the quest for peace in the Middle East, and the democratic transformation of Latin America. With an updated preface, this edition of Witness to Hope explains how this “man from a far country” did all of that, and much more—and what both his accomplishments and the unfinished business of his pontificate mean for the future of the Church and the world.
