What is the new evangelization? This collection of Advent meditations by Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, delivered at the Papal Household of Pope Benedict XVI in 2010 and 2011, traces the waves of evangelization from the first centuries of Christianity to the present day. Cantalamessa deftly explores how the Gospel has been proclaimed throughout the centuries and addresses several contemporary challenges to proclaiming the Gospel today, including scientific atheism, rationalism, and secularism. With ample references to Scripture, the Church Fathers, the Vatican Councils, papal documents, saints, doctors of the Church, theologians, philosophers, poets, authors, and scientists, Cantalamessa issues an insightful assessment of the state of evangelization and offers theological and practical considerations for proclaiming the Gospel boldly, effectively, and charitably in the world today.

Father Raniero Cantalamessa, OFM Cap, was appointed Preacher to the Papal Household by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and has continued to serve in this capacity during the papacies of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. He holds two doctorates in divinity and classical literature and several honorary degrees. Father Cantalamessa has published numerous books on theology and spirituality, which have been translated into more than twenty languages. When he is not engaged in preaching, he lives in a hermitage at Cittaducale (Rieti), Italy, ministering to a small community of cloistered nuns.
"From early missionaries to medieval monks, zealous friars to spirited artists, battling scientism to engaging modern atheists, Father Cantalamessa shows what worked in the past and applies it to today. If you want to understand the New Evangelization and carry it out, read this insightful primer by one of its greatest proponents." Brandon Vogt, author of The Church and New Media and Catholicism: The New Evangelization Study Guide
"Father Cantalamessa has crafted a book that Catholic evangelizers of every stripe will find informative, intriguing, thought-provoking, and inspiring." Sherry Weddell, Co-Director, Catherine of Siena Institute, and author of Forming Intentional Disciples
"[Navigating the New Evangelization] offers a compelling critique of atheistic scientism, rationalism, and secularism while drawing the reader ever more into the heart of Christ's message and the Church. The words of Christ, the lives of the saints and holy men and women, and the teachings of the Church are echoed in every page. This text offers an excellent contribution to the New Evangelization." The Most Reverend David L. Ricken, DD, JCL, Bishop of Green Bay, Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis
"Cantalamessa's Navigating the New Evangelization is short and awesome." ?Susan Windley-Daoust
