Conclusion Paul Grogan, Chaplain at Leeds Trinity University, UK
A collection of essays drawn from the international conference 'Vatican II, 50 Years On' held at Leeds Trinity University in 2012, which examines the theology and practice of evangelization in contemporary contexts.
Mgr Paul Grogan, MA, is Chaplain of Leeds Trinity University, UK. Kirsteen Kim, PhD, is Professor of Theology and World Christianity at Leeds Trinity University, UK, and editor of Mission Studies.
The book provides an excellent overview of the current status of
mission evangelization and, as such, can be used in a graduate
level course on ecclesiology or missiology.
*Theological Studies*
Grapples with a number of issues ... that are of interest to all
Christians and enables non-Catholics to understand some of the
debates that are taking place in the Catholic Church at the
moment.
*Church of England Newspaper*
The perspectives in The New Evangelization: Faith, People, Context
and Practice are very diverse; the essays come from Africa, the
United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Belgium. The
breadth of perspectives shows that the New Evangelization is not a
neatly-packaged program that a local church can unveil and be
guaranteed success by following the formula. … The text gives much
clearer a sense to what the New Evangelization actually is.
*Catholic Books Review*
This book is suffused with realism, serenity and hope. It helps us
to see the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit in the Church in
the decades after the Council. It charts how profoundly encouraging
Papal teachings, increasingly effective catechesis, imaginative
pastoral initiatives and a renewed spirit of engagement with the
world have all contributed to a rediscovery of the Church's primary
identity, namely that she "exists in order to evangelize" (Blessed
Pope Paul VI, Evangelii Nuntiandi, 14).
*Archbishop Roche Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of
the Sacraments, Italy*
Professor Kirsteen Kim and Msgr. Paul Grogan have offered in this
volume an impressive collection of reflections on evangelization
today. These reflections throw light on the New Evangelization, but
also link it with other more traditional aspects of the church's
evangelization mission, often in fresh and creative ways. This is a
truly important work for anyone engaged in mission and mission
studies today.
*Stephen Bevans, Catholic Theological Union, USA*
The New Evangelisation is a priority for the Church that is widely
commended but little understood. This book opens it up for
reflection and roots it not only in the Second Vatican Council but
also in the movements that preceded it. Too few English speaking
Catholics realise that France was declared to be a mission country
in 1943. This book shows that during the Council the Church adapted
to its already diminished position in the developed world and its
growing role in the developing world, seeing dialogue with other
faiths and cultures as integral to its mission in both these
worlds
