John Paul II and The New Evangelization—Edited by Ralph Martin and Peter Williamson

Description: Pope John Paul II urged the Church repeatedly and persistently to proclaim the gospel to all humanity. This summons to a “new evangelization” characterized his papacy. But what does the new evangelization mean? And who is supposed to evangelize? In this relevant and practical book 22 authors address these and many other issues. Cardinal Avery Dulles describes the evangelical shift in the Church since Vatican II; those involved in day-to-day evangelism provide practical tips for evangelizing the poor (Sr. Linda Koontz), street evangelism (Leonard Sullivan), using spiritual gifts ( Peter Herbeck) and much more.

“Here is sound instruction, practical and theoretical, on the why and the how of evangelism past, present and future. This book is proof that Catholics are rediscovering the fact that the Catholic Church is as essentially ‘evangelical’ as any Protestant denomination.”—Peter Kreeft, author, Making Sense Out of Suffering
