John Grabowski

Body-Poetics of the Virgin Mary

Theology

“This book is a wonderful synthesis of literary elegance and scholarly erudition. The deep interface created between Pope John Paul II’s catecheses on the theology of the body and Marian poetry enables Petkovic to break new theological ground in offering a rich theology of Mary’s ‘obstetric body,’ and beautifully illuminating her life lived as ‘poem of the Father.’ Highly recommended for both students and scholars.”

Leaving and Coming Home

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Leaving and Coming Home offers wide-ranging treatments and fresh perspectives on issues in sexual ethics, both new and old. The blend of voices from different points on the theological spectrum is harmonized in a shared attention to practices--understood not just as sociological descriptions of human behaviors, but as productive of virtue and vice within persons and communities. An excellent addition to college or introductory graduate courses on marriage or sexual ethics.”

Life-Giving Wounds

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Grounded in solid research and the lived experience of many individuals wounded by their parents’ divorce, this book invites the reader to walk a path of healing in light of the Church’s vision of marriage and the wholeness to which we are called in Christ.”
