Böcker av Karol Wojtyla

St. Augustine's Press and translators Kenneth W. Kemp and Zuzanna Maslanka Kieron are to be commended for making this important work available for the first time in English. Man in the Field of Responsibility offers fascinating insights into the thought of the man who would become Pope John Paul II. Here we find Karol Wojtyla grappling philosophically with the great questions of good and evil, freedom and fulfillment, that were central to his papacy, and especially to key encyclicals such as Veritatis Splendor and Evangelium Vitae. This book is necessary reading not only for students of John Paul II as a thinker and for students of Catholic philosophy, but also for all who seek greater understanding of the moral predicament of modern man. - Carson Holloway, University of Nebraska at Omaha
