- Summary:
- On the wave of Pope John Paul II's recent extraordinary journeys to places such as Cuba and Israel comes this new, accessible survey of his teachings from one of his closest associates. Published here in English are eleven "conversations" -- originally interviews conducted for a series of programs on Polish television -- on the most important points of John Paul II's teachings. Tackling such complex issues as freedom, democracy, ecumenicalism, and sexuality with grace and equanimity, The Surprising Pope is a major contribution to our understanding of the papacy of John Paul II.
