James H. Kroeger, M.M. deepens our reading of Pope Francis’s first major document Evangelii Gaudium as a “blueprint for the missionary renewal of the Church as it seeks to proclaim the Gospel in today’s world” (110). Kroeger argues that the scope of Evangelii Gaudium is “remarkably comprehensive” and concludes that “any commentary on the original document pales in comparison to an actual meditative reading of its contents” (110).
