You are invited to join us for two weekend experiences of John Paul II's 'Theology of the Body' facilitated by Dr. Adam Cooper and Real Talk Australia.
Theology of the Body has been described as perhaps the most important Christian teaching in the last century. These weekends will be a series of lectures that will lead you deep into the heart of this teaching.
Dr Adam Cooper PhD, STD is a senior lecturer at the John Paul II Institute in Melbourne. He has two doctorates in Theology and has written numerous books and articles on the Theology of the Body in Christian tradition.
