Theology of the Body I: Head & Heart Immersion Course (Online)
July 19 – 30, 2021
Taught by Christopher West
Course Description:
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 19-30, 2021.
- 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. Christopher West, Bill Donaghy, or Jen Settle will host the live sessions. 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.

Course Description:
This course examines the implications of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body for the “new evangelization.” It will first outline a plan for ecclesial and cultural renewal based on John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Inuente and then study the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church through the lens of John Paul II’s spousal theology. In the process, this course will demonstrate in practical terms how the TOB is not only a teaching on marriage and sexual love, but has implications for all of theology and provides a compelling way to present the Gospel message itself to the modern world.
