Theology of the Body I: Head & Heart Immersion Course (Online)
July 6-17, 2020
Taught by Christopher West
This online course introduces students to the key themes of the 129 Wednesday audience addresses that comprise John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. Particular attention will be paid to the imago Dei, fall and redemption, Christian ethics and ethos, freedom and person, gender and vocation. Students will be encouraged to journey from “head to heart” in applying the theological concepts they learn to their own lives and relationships.
While the in-person TOB I: Head & Heart Immersion Course experience is the optimal transformational encounter with TOB with the celebration of the Sacraments, daily prayer, and interactions with the instructor and your fellow students, we know that this online course will provide you a beautiful, foundational encounter with the content of our in-person TOB I: Head & Heart Immersion Course.
How Does the Online Course Work?:
- Registrants for this online TOB I course, will receive access to a filmed version of our in-person 5-day TOB I course and a digital course workbook from July 6-17, 2020.
- Each video session is complete with the resources used in the course, as well as directions for helping to make this online course, not only intellectually stimulating, but also spiritually fruitful.
- There will be live group Q&A sessions provided during that two-week period for all students who wish to participate. These group sessions will be recorded for those students who cannot make the designated times and will be accessible through the online course portal.
- Students who wish to attend another course with TOBI or enter into the TOBI Certification Program, must watch all of the videos and complete a multiple choice exam at the end of the course. A passing grade of 80% is required for the exam. Please note that this is the only online course that TOBI offers, so all other courses will be in-person.
Registration Cost:
$895 Registration Fee
Registration Deadline: Thursday, July 2, 2020

This course presents a tour of the pre-papal thought of St. John Paul II. An introduction to philosophy as a branch of study and to the history of philosophy will be presented as these pertain to Karol Wojtyla as a professor and scholar in that field. Through a close examination of the original philosophical texts of Wojtyla, with emphasis on his personalist anthropology, we will proceed to see how these inform Theology of the Body and the Papal Encyclicals and Letters of St. John Paul II. See your confirmation email for links to required readings for this course.

Taught by Christopher West
“Glorious things are said of you, O city of God” (Ps 87:3).
“One thing I ask, this alone I seek,” says the psalmist, “to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and contemplate his temple” (Ps 27:4).
These Scriptures, and countless others, are fulfilled in the flesh and blood of Mary, which became God’s city, God’s dwelling place. But for far too many Catholics, Mary remains an abstraction, a blue plaster statue, a disincarnate hyper-pious “ideal” far removed from the realities of daily life and the visceral desires of the human heart. Who is Mary, really? “Who is this who comes forth like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, pure as the blazing sun, fearsome as celestial visions?” (Song of Songs 6:10).
Through the lens of St. John Paul II’s TOB and with the help of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the insights of countless saints and mystics throughout the ages, this course seeks to answer that question in such a way as to show what the most influential woman in all of human history means to us here and now, today, in our own personal lives, with all our questions, struggles, and longings. It will demonstrate how all the Marian doctrines of the Church and the call of true devotion to the Mother of God have one and only one goal: to lead us to deeper union with the Word who was made flesh in her womb.
