«Lo splendore della verità» is the encyclical letter of John Paul II, published by Libreria Editrice Vaticana in paperback (144 pages, in Italian).
Known by its Latin title Veritatis splendor, the encyclical is addressed to all bishops of the Catholic Church. It sets out the foundations of Christian morality: conscience is oriented towards truth and freedom is realised in welcoming divine law. John Paul II defends an objective good and the guidance of the magisterium for living according to the Gospel.
The work was originally published in 1993. Its subtitle is «Lettera enciclica circa alcune questioni fondamentali dell'insegnamento morale della Chiesa».
A reference work for scholars of moral theology and for readers interested in the magisterium of John Paul II and in Catholic doctrine.
Pope John Paul II was head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City from 16 October 1978 until his death in 2005. He was the first non-Italian pope since Adrian VI in the 16th century, as well as the third-longest-serving pope in history, after St. Peter and Pius IX.
