REVIEW: In a world increasingly confused about what it means to be human, [this book] offers a refreshing, deeply rooted exploration of identity, sexuality, and the metaphysical reality of the human reality of the human person.
Francis Etheredge, February 24, 2025 at Missio Dei
At its heart, this book seeks to illuminate the reality of the human person as an integrated whole—body and soul—where lived experience is not opposed to truth, but rather a means of encountering it. Drawing from the theological vision of Pope St. John Paul II, the authors demonstrate how the “turn to the subject” in modern philosophy does not have to lead to radical individualism but can, instead, be properly integrated with a philosophy of being.
A core theme running throughout the book is the idea that our consciousness has an intentionality—a directedness toward truth. This is not an abstract concept but a lived reality: in our daily lives, we seek to communicate the truth of what we experience. This search for truth is not only about external reality but also about the subject who perceives and engages with it. It is a journey that must be undertaken with both faith and reason, with the full weight of the Christian tradition illuminating our steps.
