Summary: | The term evangelization has a very broad meaning in Evangelii Gaudium, encompassing everything that is subsumed under mission in The Cape Town Commitment and Together towards Life.

In their underlying theological propositions, the three documents are very similar. There is one fundamental difference, though: Evangelii Gaudium focuses on affective transformation, while the other two stress ethical renewal. |
