Thinking with St. John Paul II vol. II is a result of a series of monthly "JP2 Lectures" held in the academic year 2021/2022 at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas-Angelicum in Rome. The "JP2 Lectures" have been introduced to the Angelicum's curriculum by the St. John Paul II Institute of Culture as lectures open to the public and promoting reflection on a wide range of topics in the light of St. John Paul II's intellectual and spiritual legacy. The authors of texts printed in this volume are some of the most prominent intellectuals of our time from across the world. Volume II is nine texts from John Lord Alderdice, Jean-Luc Marion, George Weigel, Andrea Riccardi, John Milbank, Carl A. Anderson, Ewa Thompson and Stanisław Grygiel. Topics include i.a. questions relating to the role of religion in modern European society, reflections of lessons drawn from JP's social and anthropological teaching and summaries of the pontificate from a historical perspective.
