Abstract
The new evangelisation has the same task as did the entire evangelisational actions of the Church throughout history: to enable people to believe in Jesus Christ. Even though this task seems be ancient in every new historical moment, it represents a challenge primarily to the Church itself who needs to explain what it means to believe? The author of this article starts from the hypothesis that to believe requires the experience of learning. Even though this problem is often burdened with epistemological significance in a Christian context it is revealed as a process of life heritage, a process of deep immersion into a relationship with Jesus Christ in the midst of the life of he who believes. However, in order to be able to learn to believe at all today we need to see how believing is one of the fundamental anthropological determinants. The author refers to these anthropological coordinates in the first chapter, pointing to the fact that despite the difficulties with certain beliefs, man is a being who believes. The author then in the second chapter points out the specifity of Christian faith in Jesus Christ and the disputes and challenges that faith encounters. In the third chapter the author speaks about the specifity of theologal faith and the challenges that theologal shaping of faith comes especially in the encounter with new religiousness as one of the fundamental challenges to new evangelisation. In conclusion the author points out some significant features of faith as the source and goal of new evangelisation: gift, freedom, personality, togetherness.
