Review:

Father Tyburski's timely synopsis of each of John Paul's encyclicals provides a comprehensive overview and context for the major themes of one of the most important papacies in the history of the Church. His informed commentary makes these encyclicals, marked at once by remarkable insight and by a complexity of style and language, accessible to a wider audience and considerably enhances their impact on the evangelization of culture. For this we can all be grateful. --Don J. Briel, Koch Chair in Catholic Studies and Director, Center for Catholic Studies, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Church and the world will be contending with the teaching of Blessed John Paul II for centuries a process that will be advanced and deepened by this book. Those who open it will meet one of the great minds and spirits of Christian history. Pondering his thinking and teaching is a happy reminder of the breadth and depth of the Catholic vision of the human person, human community, and human destiny. --George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center, Washington, DC
