CROSSING THE THRESHOLD OF HOPE INTO THE MEDIA CULTURE
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The new atheism and the new evangelization have become the buzzwords of the age. Athe-ism is now the fastest growing religious‖ group in the United States; the new evangelization decisively shaped the conclave that elected Jorge Bergoglio to the papacy. Twenty years ago, in Crossing the Threshold of Hope, John Paul II reflected pastorally on some of the philoso-phical, spiritual, and cultural roots of both. His insights, embodied in Christians who live them, offer the Church a key to our times. If evangelization today is to announce the Gospel in the languages of today, what script might it use? What images might it evoke? What might its cadence be like?
