Publisher's Synopsis
With this first apostolic exhortation "Evangelii Gaudium" (The Joy of the Gospel), Pope Francis finally makes his real debut as papal author. Here Pope Francis challenges all Christians to participate in the work of evangelizing -- of sharing Christ's love with others. This book is Francis' first Apostolic Exhortation, a teaching document on a particular theme to encourage and challenge people. The Joy of the Gospel addresses the key subjects of the recent Synod of Bishops, which focused on the New Evangelization, an essential topic for the recent popes.
