ABOUT THE THEOLOGY OF THE BODY: “I predict that Protestants, especially evangelicals, will embrace the Theology of the Body in greater and greater numbers in the years ahead … those who do will come to an understanding of sexual morality that is grounded in divine revelation … If the church can recover that kind of sexual morality, then I think the church will be in the position to launch the second sexual revolution that John Paul longed for and sought to prepare the way for.”
ABOUT THE THEOLOGY OF THE BODY: “Evangelicals desperately need … an ordered account of how Scripture informs our understanding of the human body … Probably the work that stands readiest for evangelical dialogue is John Paul II’s Theology of the Body… it manages to merge theology, pastoral reflection, and practical teaching in a way that orients the reader toward genuine transformation … without lapsing into moralism.” It also “provides a way of speaking about sexuality that avoids both profanity and prudish silence.”
