This book presents Karol Wojtyła’s contribution and interpretation of Paul VI’s encyclical on the transmission of human life from historical, ethical, and sacramental perspectives. The central theme of Communicating Life concerns the value of the human person in the mystery of life and its "tradition" in the dimension of temporariness. The book examines Wojtyła’s original texts, consults the most recent scholarship in the field, and includes the English
translations of the Wojtylian contributions to Humanae vitae, including his 1966, 1968, and 1971 memoranda sent directly to Pope Paul VI.
