8To commemorate Pope Paul s upcoming beatification, The Word Among Us Press has republished this edition of Evangelii Nuntiandi, which includes a foreword by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, as well as a study guide for reflection and discussion.Written by Pope Paul VI in 1975, Evangelii Nuntiandi has lost none of its force and brilliance over the past forty years. Pope Francis has called the exhortation to my mind, the greatest pastoral document that has ever been written to this day. Quoted extensively, especially by subsequent popes, On Evangelization in the Modern World has served as a guiding document for the work of the New Evangelization in the Church today.
