The New Evangelization and Christian Faith Transmission

Grace n Anton

This document, a Lineamenta from the Synod of Bishops, introduces and explores the concept of a "new evangelization" for the transmission of Christian faith. It highlights the urgency of this new approach in a rapidly changing world, marked by secularism and cultural shifts. The text examines the meaning of the new evangelization, the sectors requiring this focus, and the challenges Christians face in these new situations. It emphasizes the Church's duty to evangelize and the importance of both the Word of God and Christian initiation, presented as a process of engaging with the living person of Jesus Christ, as key methods for spreading the faith. Ultimately, it calls for renewed spiritual vigor and a bold witnessing to the Gospel in contemporary society.
