Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to present the linguistic image of the notion of “evangelization”, namelyits cognitive structure in the Bible, in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and in selected sourcetexts, thematically related to the so-called new evangelization. It applies the method of descriptionof the major aspects of a notion, which is used in ethnolinguistics. For evangelization, such aspectsare: object and subject of evangelization; the place and time of evangelization; the ways and methodsof evangelization; the circumstances related to the event of evangelization (conditions); the effectiveworks of evangelization; the definitions of evangelization; the works focused on evangelization; theacts of evangelization; the features of evangelization; the phenomena related to evangelization; andwhat serves the purpose of evangelization. On the basis of the presented analysis, it is pointed out thatduring the last 20 years in the teachings of the Catholic Church’s evangelists the semantic range of thenotion “evangelization” has changed.
