Summary/Abstract: The life and thought of Karol Wojtyła/John Paul II embody and elaborate the reciprocal rela- tionship between humanity and culture. As historian and custodian of faith and culture, John Paul II provided a conceptual understanding of the mutually formative influences of person and community. Polish faith and culture were the cradle and crucible that formed Wojtyła. In return, Wojtyła bestowed a legacy of liberty to Polish faith and culture. As prophet and pastor of faith and culture, John Paul II continues to challenge humanity to faithful personal formation and interpersonal transmission of this heritage for the sake of future generations.
