The Encyclicals and Post-Synodol Apostolic Exhortations of John Paul II by J. Michael Miller,Pat Burke Pdf
The encyclicals are the documents that make history, and perhaps more than any of his other writings they distill the essence of the Holy Father's thought. The texts are the official Vatican translations, not unreliable "inclusive language" paraphrases. Each encyclical is preceded by an extensive introduction that places the encyclical in history, summarizes the main points, and relates it to the other encyclicals. The Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortations represent not only the thoughts of Pope John Paul II but also the consensus of the whole Church.
