Insights from Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body

“The body, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible.”

Bodies aren't just shells for our souls. They literally speak a language that expresses the hidden heart.

“Man cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself.”

Love is meant to be a total gift of self. We find our true identity only when we give ourselves away freely.

Solitude came before everything else in the Garden. Adam realized he was different from the animals by his capacity to love.
