While some focused on governing the Church and addressing challenges from the world, others recognized their primary responsibility to proclaim and teach the Gospel. Author Alan Schreck calls these the “teaching popes” and John Paul II was such a pope, leading the Church and impacting the world with his witness and his teaching.\u003cbr\u003e The encyclical letter has been, in modern times, the instrument for popes to express their most important teaching—teachings that have lasting value for the Church, and often for the whole world. Dr. Schreck invites the reader to become familiar with the encyclical letters of Pope John Paul II. In \u003cem\u003eThe Legacy of Pope John Paul II\u003c\/em\u003e, Dr. Schreck breaks down more scholarly writing into accessible language. The reflection questions and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter help facilitate a systematic study of the central teachings of this brilliant but pastoral pope, who conveyed the truth in love.\u003cbr\u003e Dr. Schreck includes chapters on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eRedemptor Hominis\u003c\/em\u003e (“The Redeemer of Man” )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eDives in Misericordia\u003c\/em\u003e (“Rich in Mercy” )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLaborem Exercens\u003c\/em\u003e (“On Human Work” )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSlavorum Apostoli\u003c\/em\u003e (“On Sts.
