Overview

Article 1 and the entire e-Book: Know that man, made in the image and likeness of God is a person created for his own sake, not an animal created as a thing to be used by others. Article 2: What if the human is unique among God's creation?Article 3: What if among all living animal bodies, the human body is unique?Article 4: What if our bodies, male and female, reveal who we are scientifically and theologically? What if couples living together before marriage diminishes and all but erases the conjugal act as the consummation of the public verbal commitment sacramental act?Article 5: What if Wojtyla's (later John Paul II) concept of the Theology of the Body has its roots in St. John of the Cross's personalism?Article 6: What if sexual morality is a good example of the effect that the modernist and empiricist view of the body has in terms of understanding Catholic sexual morality?Article 7: What if the human person is a body, rather than merely having a body?Article 8: What if through the incarnation of Jesus, the Son of God, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us? What if through God, the Son's assuming a human body, the body of all humans acquires an infinite value?Article 9: What if original happiness, the beatifying the ""beginning"" of man (as related in Genesis), whom God created ""Male"" and ""Female"", the spousal meaning of the body in its original nakedness: all of this expresses rootedness in love?Article 10: What if St. Paul's Epistles(letters) give evidence of an organic (natural, fundamental) link between purity and love?Article 11: What if through His passion and death, Jesus Christ, restored man's hope of eternal life that was man's destiny from the beginning?This e-Book is meant to be a companion treatise to my self/understanding guide book What is Man? Male and Female. The five philosophers' views in What is Man? answer this question. The view that a person holds regarding human sexuality is directly derived from his or her, answer to the question, What is Man? Male and Female. What does it mean to be human?

Author Information

Bernard J. Fleury Ed.D. Author of Light Book series that will enlighten you. Here's the meet Bernard video: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2gHhJGDOeE I am Professor Emeritus at Westfield State University and a Roman Catholic Permanent Deacon. I have an A.A. degree in Classical Languages, a B.A. in History, a M.S. in Elementary Education with a minor in Philosophy, and an Ed.D. in Administration with a minor in Government. I taught in both the undergraduate and graduate divisions at Westfield State University for thirty years and was a Public School teacher and principal for thirteen years. I also served as Director of School Administration at Westfield State University, and as Director of Teacher Education, Academic Vice President, and President protem at International College of the Cayman Islands over a sixteen-year period. At present I am a corporator in the Westfield State University Foundation. I have worn a third hat as an ordained Catholic Permanent Deacon for the past thirty three years. For the past several years I have been devoting my retirement to nonfiction writing, nearly all of which is on the theme of Light as a Someone and a Something. We are all Called Into Life By The Light. Life and Light are tied together. Lifelight describes their relationship best because both our ""without"" (our physical being) and our ""within"" (our spirit) are basically light in two different forms: 1.Physical energy that occupies space, has weight, can be measured, and... 2.Psychic or spiritual energy which is a force that causes things to happen and, thus, real energy, but it does not occupy space, have weight, or be empirically measured. That is what we humans are: complex, amazing, wonderful creatures, made in the image and likeness of God for our own sakes, to know, love, and serve him in this life, and be with him forever in heaven. As the titles of my books in the Light series indicate, I explore what light is as a Someone and Something in a number of areas of human experience. My wife Ludmila and I live on a small farm in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. We have two adult children and one grandson.
