Crossing the Threshold of Hope
John Paul II, 1994
A pope answers the questions people actually ask about suffering, hope, evil and faith, in a direct book-length interview rather than a formal encyclical.
John Paul II
Before becoming pope, Karol Wojtyła was an actor, playwright and poet; he wrote Crossing the Threshold of Hope as a written interview with journalist Vittorio Messori.
Feels like faith, hope and freedom.
Hell is less a sentence handed down than a door locked from the inside.
Resurrection of the body is to be preceded by a judgment passed upon the works of charity, fulfilled or neglected. As a result of this judgement, the just are destined to eternal life. There is a destination to eternal damnation as well, which consists in the ultimate rejection of God, the ultimate break of the communion with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Here, it is not so much God who rejects man, but man who rejects God. Books by John Paul II
