The theology of the body is comprised of 129 talks, 6 more of which were discovered at a later date. It answers the question: who we are by looking at the origin, present and destiny of man. It answers the question of how we are to live by looking at marriage, celibacy, love and fruitfulness. It helps us in different ways to see what it means to be human. Theology of the body answers who is man from the beginning, where are we now, and where are we going. It delivers an adequate anthropology because many of us have lost what it means to be human. It helps us to put Christ at the centre of our lives and to untwist the desires of our hearts, overcoming concupiscence and so that we are not left to our own desires.
