In his preface, Dr. Richard Spinello states, “Quite simply, Love and Responsibility is not an easy book to read.” Karol Wojtyla’s classic work is even more relevant today, but the language is often high and theoretical. Based on the new English translation of Love and Responsibility, Dr. Spinello’s thoughtful commentary will enable you to discover the beauty of Saint John Paul II’s timeless work, and through it, the magnificence of human relationships and our God-given need to give and receive love.
Understanding Love and Responsibility edition by Richard A Spinello Religion Spirituality eBooks
Very accessible! This book takes a technical, often opaque, because of technical language, topic, namely moral philosophy, and presents it in a common, everyday English. While it does take some concentration to stay with the major themes, they prove most available to the intentional reader. Very interesting.It is most important to always comprehend the point of view from which the writer is originating. In this instance, it is a treatise on moral philosophy, commonly understood as ethics. It is not beginning nor necessarily dwells in an explicitly Christian ethic, but where the reader would find the original proposition of a Christian ethic problematic, this books clearly helps the reader to understand, decipher, decode, disambiguate JPII's more technical approach in the original document, which most would find obtuse to grasp.
The excitement is over a new English translation which Spinello tackes, just recently released, the definitive Polish one having been completed in 2001. A must read for all those in relationship with others, especially those in perpetual vows of marital fidelity towards another.

Understanding Love and Responsibility edition by Richard A Spinello Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
Last year, I was privileged to receive a review copy of Love and Responsibility from Pauline Books and Media. I remember having a very profound sense of amazement reading the late Karol Wotyla's (Pope John Paul II) word. I also remember feeling over my head reading these words and wishing that I was smarter or that there was some guide in common everyday language so that I could better understand this. Well my prayers (and I imagine the prayers of many others were answered) with the release of Understanding Love and Responsibility.
This is the second book I have had the opportunity to review by the author, Dr. Richard Spinello. He has written several books about Pope John Paul II and his writings, so I knew this was the right person to undertake this book. Chapter One begins with a discussion of who Wotyla was and why we should want to read Love and Responsibility. If you own both books, like myself, you'll want to read this chapter before reading anything in Love and Responsibility. Each subsequent chapter then focuses on a specific section of Love and Responsibility. As ways of helping the common person grasp this text, Dr. Spinello provides examples, summaries, and simpler English. There are also a great amount of footnotes, some of which provide interesting cross-references to Wotyla's other works.
While it might be superficial to say, I found the concluding chapter of this book to be the most beneficial to me. Dr. Spinello not only beautifully and succinctly summarized Love and Responsibility, but he also provided a framework for defending Wotyla's work, which might prove helpful to some. Understanding Love and Responsibility is billed as a companion book, and that it is. However, I would argue that you could read it on its own, even though I know that wasn't the author's intent. My recommendation is that you read this book by itself first. Once you are finished, if you find yourself wanting to dig deeper, then by all means pick up Love and Responsibility. Be sure to keep this companion book handy. Otherwise, you'll risk getting overwhelmed by the depth that Wotyla can dive.
This book really helped me make better sense of Karol Wojtyla's work, Love and Responsibility. The pope's book is excellent but a little dense. Spinello helps to unpack what the pope was talking about. He explains how the human person is created for love. This desire of our heart is not satisfied when we attempt to grasp love for ourselves, but only when we give of ourselves in love through a sincere gift of self. It is a counter-cultural message, but one that rings true to the human heart. The pope is not speaking just to Catholics but to all human beings. For the hearts of all people are made in the same way. Spinello explains the various things one needs to know in order to understand what the pope was saying, for example, what utilitarianism is and how it affects us.
