Theology of the Body Evangelization Team

In 2001 a grassroots group of parents and educators recognized the need to promulgate the life-giving message of St. John Paul's Theology of the Body to a world in need. Our founders answered this calling to spread the Theology of the Body to people of all ages in a holistic way.

We receive calls and emails every day from concerned people who live in a culture that distorts the proper view of sexuality and identity. This distorted view rests on what St. John Paul diagnosed as "detachment" from the truth and meaning of the human body. Detachment devalues the human body and thus, the dignity and identity of the human person.

St. John Paul anticipated this detachment and crisis of identity in his writings. Through the Theology of the Body he gives a wondrous view on the meaning of our existence: to love and be loved. St. John Paul asserts that God makes this reality visible in our human bodies. TOBET distills this philosophically dense, theological reflection down to make it accessible to families and people of all ages without losing its richness.

TOBET shares this message with others through educational resources: books, programs, talks, and seminars that offer hope to people in need. These resources offer a healing response to our culture's messages which devalue the human body and thus, the human person.
