Unpacking the Good News

Description

The Good News is as old as the hills! But the need for it to be proclaimed, even today in the second decade of the 21" century, is still most urgent! St Paul exhorts us all, solemnly urge you, preach the message, in season and out of season, whether welcome or unwelcome!" (2 Tm 4:2). The "old" Gospel must be presented again and again in a fresh way, with insights and practical applications which are adapted to life in this changing world. Moreover, Pope Francis is giving a new thrust and impetus to the New Evangelization, and he has also declared a whole Jubilee Year of Mercy, to focus the attention of all peoples on the Good News about God's love for humanity. "Mercy is the beating heart of the Gospel," and "in Jesus Christ, in his words and actions, the mercy of God has been revealed," writes the Pope. ISBN:9788170867418
