On Redemptor Hominis by John Hittinger: 2. Poetry and Theater

"Redemptor Hominis" is about Christ and the message of Mercy."
-John Hittinger in On Redemptor Hominis

Pope Saint John Paul II was one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century.  A recent biographer has described him as one of the “freest” men who ever lived, having had a clear sense of his mission and role within his own particular moment in history from a very early age.  What animated this remarkable pope and saintly man?  This course  serves as an excellent introduction to the thought of Pope Saint John Paul II through a study of his first encyclical letter, Redemptor Hominis, “The Redeemer of Man.” It provides a context for understanding the encyclical, a section by section analysis, and explains how this encyclical--which Dr. Hittinger calls John Paull II's "Mission Statement"--provides a unique and important vantage point from which to understand the life and thought of this great pope.
