The human person -- Person and act -- Metaphysics and human personhood -- Person and relation -- Part 2: Sex difference and masculinity. The body and sex -- Sex and human personhood -- Sex and the Incarnation -- Sex and vocation -- Part 3: Fatherhood. Fatherhood as a vocation -- The fatherhood of God -- Natural human fatherhood -- A synthesis of John Paul II's theology of masculinity and fatherhood -- Part 4: Assessing John Paul II's theology of masculinity and fatherhood:.Is it coherent? -- Assessing criticisms "In numerous works both before and after his papal election, John Paul II offers ample reflection on the themes of personhood, relationality, and sexual complementarity, but while he advances a clearly articulated theology of femininity and motherhood, as in his apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem, he might seem to offer no equivalent treatment of masculinity and fatherhood. In Viri Dignitatem, David Delaney seeks to surface and systematize the rich but often overlooked theology of masculinity and fatherhood that is found dispersed throughout John Paul II's writings, demonstrating its essentiality for understanding his larger anthropology. In the first part of the study, Delaney treats the foundations of this anthropology, establishing John Paul II's thought on personhood, relation, and human action. Building on this, the second part considers sexual differentiation, drawing out from John Paul II's teaching on the body, femininity, Mary, and the Church his corresponding perspective on masculinity, which is itself rooted in nuptial complementarity and the revealing work of Christ. The third part focuses on John Paul II's theology of fatherhood, which Delaney presents as both a natural and spiritual vocation that is based on the Fatherhood of God as this is manifested and imaged by the incarnate Son. Finally, the fourth part provides a synthetic assessment of this theology of masculinity and fatherhood, showing its coherence and addressing contemporary criticisms and misinterpretations. At a time of accelerating crises of sexuality, the family, and fatherhood, Delaney's Viri Dignitatem provides a welcome and important elaboration of John Paul II's teaching on the dignity and vocation of man"-- |
