Weigel on Perry

George Weigel is, among other things, the author of a major biography of John Paul II. In his current column in the Denver Catholic Register he is recommending "Books for Christmas," and among them is Tim Perry's (ed.) The Legacy of John Paul II:

One of the major surprises of the pontificate of John Paul II was its enthusiastic reception by evangelical Protestants, especially in North America. The Legacy of John Paul II: An Evangelical Assessment, edited by Tim Perry and published by InterVarsity Press, sheds the light of evangelical theological scholarship on John Paul’s efforts to remind the world that human beings can indeed grasp the truth of things, including the moral truths of things. Put aside your dubieties about the John Paul II book industry and get a taste of the ecumenism of the future, made possible by the man Baptist theologian Timothy George calls “our common teacher.”
