"Pope Paul VI was elected in 1963 and continued the Second Vatican Council after the death of Pope John XXIII. During his papacy, he wrote several encyclicals, including Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples), and Mysterium Fidei (The Mystery of Faith, on the Eucharist).
Evangelii Nuntiandi (On Evangelization in the Modern World) is an apostolic exhortation considered to be the “magna carta” on Catholic evangelization and remains relevant and timely. As Julianne Stanz explains in Developing Disciples of Christ:
The exhortation affirms the role of every Christian in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is divided into seven sections, with an introduction. Evangelii Nuntiandi defines Catholic evangelization (which is very helpful), the content of evangelization, and the beneficiaries or audiences of evangelization."
