We believe that Pope John Paul the Great’s Theology of the Body has already begun a chain reaction that will have profound effects on the life of the Church and a lasting transformation of cultures. Theology of the Body is the key building block to spread his vision of a civilization of love in the third millennium of Christ.
The mission of this channel is to spread this extraordinarily deep teaching to the ends of the world by making it relevant in various circumstances. We intend to provide provocative thought to all who desire to break open this work. Through written word, audio, and video, we hope to make John Paul’s vision for love and life increasingly approachable and accessible to every state of life, including married, religious, single, teen, young, old, single parent, married parent and more.
We invite you to start your discovery by exploring topics most relevant to you, and then to expand to others. In a few days we wil lbe adding to this channel the ability for you to login with your CE user name and password and comment on articles just as you do on the CE main site. Meanwhile, please explore the great content that is already here. Below are some tips about how this channel is arranged.
If you put your cursor on the TOB For All button on the menu bar above, you will see that this channel is organized to help you find the most relevent articles. If you are looking for an article by a particular columnist, put your cursor on the Columnists button to access a list of columnists. Clicking on either the TOB For All or Columnists button will take you to the archives of all the articles on the site to date. To find articles sorted into one of our three lead sections, just click on the colored bar on the TOB Home page. All articles in those sections are also sorted into TOB for All or subcategories and into the appropriate columnist space under the Columnists button. And, of course, you can use the Search TOB box to look for articles according to whatever search terms you would like to employ.
In case you would like to use the Theology of the Body channel as your homepage, we have created an abbreviated Church Today box so you can access the day’s readings etc. right here. Under that box, you will see a link to the bio page, Meet the TOB Authors, where you can learn about the exciting work being done by our columnists. We know that once you have enjoyed their interesting and informative articles, you will want to meet them, so the TOB Events box will keep you up-to-date on events in your area where you can meet your favorite authors and fellowship with other Catholics who are exploring this transformative teaching. The TOB Blog will highlight stories in the news that relate to the issues we explore in Theology of the Body.
You can also access the Theology of the Body channel from the Channels button dropdown on the menu bar at the top of the main CE site or from the orange Theology of the Body bar on the CE Homepage right under the Church Today box.
Well, that’s enough of an introduction! It’s time for you to take the plunge into The Theology of the Body!
