As I was reading through some of JP II’s writings on the Theology of the Body for today’s TOB Tuesday post, I came across this passage: The theology of the body is not merely a theory, but rather a specific evangelical, Christian pedagogy of the body. This pedagogic character comes from the character of the Bible and above all of … Read More
