Body and Gift

by Sam Torode, Christopher West

In a series of talks known as "the theology of the body," Pope John Paul II set out to answer some of the most important questions of our time about love and sexuality. Now, the theology of the body is being made available in simplified language for the general reader. Body and Gift, the first book in a four-part series, begins with the creation of man as recorded in Genesis. What does this ancient book have to teach us today about the human body and God’s design for marriage? Body and Gift expresses the heart of John Paul’s teachings on this important subject.
