Recommended for readers interested in contemporary religious thought, Catholic reform, and those seeking a hopeful vision for the Church’s future amid modern challenges.

"A serious and acute work.... Weigel's ability to combine the spiritual insights of a believer with the dispassionate analysis of a historian makes Evangelical Catholicism valuable for Catholics and non-Catholics, of all political persuasions, who care about the Church's future."- National Review

Description

The Catholic Church is on the threshold of a bold new era in its history. As the curtain comes down on the Church of the 16th-century Counter-Reformation, it rises on the Evangelical Catholicism of the third millennium: a way of being Catholic that will send the faithful into mission territory every day, a territory increasingly defined by spiritual boredom and aggressive secularism.

In Evangelical Catholicism, Catholic theologian George Weigel proposes a programme of faith-based reform that confronts these challenges head on. An urgent call to arms, Evangelical Catholicism reminds Catholics of the evangelical vocation into which they were baptised and of the joy and courage that comes from living on this side of the Resurrection.
