Summary/Abstract: The apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium presents afresh the missionary task – not so much as an obligation, resulting from the very nature of the Church anyway, but as a joyful experience of faith. The message of faith is already deepened within the evangelizer himself, and then within those to whom he is sent. This is especially a task for the particular Church involved in the evangelization of the world. The joy of proclamation is especially rediscovered. We find here an atmosphere of joy that accompanies missionaries since apostolic times. In the light of the teaching of Pope Francis, missiology finds new, interesting inspirations. It’s not just about new topics and presenting issues that already exist. Important for the Pope is the missionary spirit that animates the whole Church. This is a clear sign of Latin American theology, including the theology of liberation.
