Summary:

"The lectures collected in this anthology were given at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), in the famous Aula II where the future pope's doctoral defense took place decades ago. . . . We invite the greatest thinkers of our age to participate in the JP2 Lectures cycle. In dialogue with St. John Paul II's thought, they reflect on both what is intriguing and vibrant in his legacy and on what is particularly important, beautiful, and difficult in today's Church and world. . . . We hope that by reading these lectures you will find a fragment of the genius loci that has inspired both lecturers and their audiences. More important, we hope that they will attest to the fact that St. John Paul II can be a true maître à penser, a spiritual guide and ever-living source of intellectual and spiritual inspiration. That is precisely the John Paul II that we most need today." Adapted from the foreword.
