Theology of the Body, Extended: The Spiritual Signs of Birth, Impairment, and Dying (Lectio Publishing)

By Dr. Susan Windley-Daoust

This book examines Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body literature in its potential for creating a theological anthropology that examines how profound human experiences can serve as signs that point to God.  In doing, the book takes us the call of John Paul II to theologians to expand this anthropology seriously, by applying the hermeneutic of the gift and the understanding of the human as sign to phenomenologies of giving birth, living with impairment, and dying.  The book won 1st place in the 2015 Catholic Press Association awards, in the category "Best Book by a Small Publisher."
