Omelia e omileta nella Evangelii gaudium

The author reads the Pope Francis’s Evangelii gaudium – in his special message on the sermon – through the analysis of the object (Nos. 135-144), that is the specific theological and homiletic genre, and of the subject who announces, stressing the task of transforming the word into a personal claim, capable of entering into dialogue with the expectations of the community (Nos. 145-159). The textual itinerary through the Exhortation opens with the icon of the disciples of Emmaus and ends with 2 Timothy 3:16, where Paul shows the spectrum of intellectual, moral and existential applications in the preaching of the Word of God.
