Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 2006 Catholic University America hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: The authors present a truly multidisciplinary approach to the topic - the contributors include philosophers, psychologists, political scientists, a theologian, and an architect. Special attention is given to the theology and anthropology of Pope John Paul II whose writings vividly condense the searching examination and robust conception of human nature developed over the centuries. Readers are reminded of just how central the Church's teaching has been to Western Civilization in all of its projections and are thus alerted to the conditions likely to preserve or threaten it.
