Evangelii Gaudium and Pope Francis' Revolution in Preaching

By Peter John Cameron

In 2013, Pope Francis published an apostolic exhortation entitled Evangelii Gaudium-The Joy of the Gospel. The exhortation contains some of the most substantial and salient advice about preaching ever offered by a pope in recent history. This little book Evangelii Gaudium and Pope Francis' Revolution in Preaching provides a painstaking analysis of Evangelii Gaudium from the point of view of homiletics. At the same time, it presents in systematic fashion the document's practical implications for preaching. It will give you greater insight into Pope Francis' conception of preaching and why it is that current preaching finds itself in trouble and in need of renewal. Even more, the book will help you improve your own preaching by showing you how to apply Pope Francis' many concrete homiletic tips to your ministry in the pulpit.
