Man & Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body

Season: Summer 2026

8-Week Book Study following John Paul II’s Original Text

Ever wanted to read the full text of Theology of the Body but didn’t want to tackle it alone? This summer, join Jen Ricard, TOB CLE Director, for an 8-week guided study through Michael Waldstein’s translation of Pope St. John Paul II’s catechesis on the human person, love, and the meaning of the body.

Each week, participants will work through the original text together in a guided discussion format — no prior background in theology required, just a willingness to engage one of the most profound documents of the 20th century.
