The Theology of the Body refers to a series of Wednesday audience talks that Pope St. John Paul II gave early in his pontificate. Those talks were collected into a book, which has appeared in 2 different editions. The first edition was just called "Theology of the Body." I'm not seeing it available for purchase on Amazon. I personally own a copy.

The second edition is called "Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body." It has an introduction by philosopher Michael Waldstein, in which he points out that the Theology of the Body is John Paul's response to the body-mind dualism of early modern French philosopher Rene DeCartes.

There are numerous books that have "Theology of the Body" in the title, usually followed by "for teens" or "made simple" or something like that. Christopher West and Jason Evert would be reliable interpreters of John Paul's thought.
Dr. Yenor and I also mentioned Pope John Paul's book he wrote when he was still Karol Wojtyla before he was pope, "Love and Responsibility." This is also very good, and worth reading.
