John Paul II’s teaching is now bequeathed to the Church in a new way — not only by his authority as Pope, but also by his personal experience of sanctity. Christopher West is an authentic witness to the transformative power of John Paul II’s teaching and this book accurately captures the meaning of his Theology of the Body and its critical importance for the new evangelization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e — Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheologian, Author, and Founding Professor of the John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family, Washington, D.C.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhy should you read this book? Because Christopher West is the “translator” of Pope John Paul the Great’s Theology of the Body into clear, simple, popular language; and the Theology of the Body is the Church’s answer to the great heresy of our time, the “Sexual Revolution”; and the Sexual Revolution is the main cause of the corruption and decline of marriage and the family; and the family is the primary key to the health of any civilization; and our civilization is already halfway to “Brave New World.” \u003ci\u003eAt the Heart of the Gospel \u003c\/i\u003eprovides the alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e — Peter Kreeft, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, Boston College\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf complacency in the Church is a sleeping lion, then one can expect many swipes of the paw at the work of Christopher West. \u003ci\u003eAt the Heart of the Gospel \u003c\/i\u003ecompellingly demonstrates the truth of the matter: West is bringing fresh grace to both the Church and the wider culture.

In short, this balanced and judicious work demonstrates what I have long understood: West knows John Paul II’s TOB as few others do and he shows great theological skill in presenting, explaining, and upholding the late pope’s teaching. He grasps its letter with remarkable completeness and is led faithfully by its spirit. He is to be commended for his courage in defending John Paul II’s teaching (and the theological tradition upon which it’s based) in the face of strong opposition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e — Michael Waldstein, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMax Seckler Professor of Theology, Ave Maria University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInspiring, compelling, faithful and compassionate — \u003ci\u003eAt the Heart of the Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e invites us to follow in the footsteps of Blessed John Paul II as authentic witnesses of the truth and beauty of the Gospel amid the many challenges of contemporary culture.
