Christopher West, known for his translation of John Paul II\u2019s Theology of the Body, has written yet another book on the topic, \u201cOur Bodies Tell God\u2019s Story: Discovering the Divine Plan for Love, Sex and Gender.\u201d <\/p>\n
In the book, he speaks of the beauty of the body, as God created them and the rising temptations society offers. <\/p>\n
CHRISTOPHER WEST<\/strong> West explains the world today says the body is meaningless and what is done with it doesn\u2019t matter. Yet, he continues, the Catholic Church proclaims the body reveals ultimate meaning, since God took on flesh and became man, the incarnation. <\/p>\n That\u2019s why it is only natural many temptations surround the flesh, and they\u2019ve existed for centuries. <\/p>\n CHRISTOPHER WEST<\/strong> He says the book is for Catholics and Protestants alike. It is a great resource for learning the Church\u2019s language about the body and how the Catholic faith teaches to honor it, upholding the dignity of every person.<\/p>\n Melissa Butz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 15, 2020. \u201cOur Bodies Tell God\u2019s Story: Discovering the Divine Plan for Love, Sex and Gender,\u201d explains the Church\u2019s beliefs on the flesh, even amidst rising temptations surrounding the body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":18269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gHEvr32LcPk","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bchriswestbookeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bchriswestbookint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46903"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nAuthor, \u201cOur Bodies Tell God\u2019s Story\u201d
\n \u201cI knew the evangelicals needed a resource that translated \u2018Theology the Body\u2019 in a language that they could understand. So the goal of this book was to take John Paul II\u2019s Theology of the Body,\u2019 put it in a language that Protestant Christians could understand without compromising the message in any way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nAuthor, \u201cOur Bodies Tell God\u2019s Story\u201d
\n\u201cI wouldn't say this book provides more depth to the concept of sexuality, I would say the goal of this book is to reveal the depth that is already there. This is really the problem in the modern world. The sexual revolution comes around and speaks into a culture that is afraid even to talk about sex. There are all these taboos, and we didn't even have a language and we still don't know how to talk about this in a healthy holy, way.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
