Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body has been called his “masterwork” and a “theological time bomb.” Drawing from the depths of Scripture and Catholic Tradition, it illuminates the human desire for love and fulfillment as revealed in our creation as male and female. By charting a path to an authentic sexual redemption, the Theology of the Body serves as the antidote to the culture of death and the foundation of the culture of life. The Theology of the Body Institute envisions a world filled with men and women who freely embrace their dignity created in the image and likeness of God. Only from this foundation can an authentic culture of life and a civilization of love take root and flourish.
