Abstract

Over the centuries, in many areas of its activity the Church has contributed greatly to the development of humanity. One of the ways in which the Church articulated and realized this contribution is evangelization. After the introductory part, which only points to the importance of a new anthropological question as the context from which the need for evangelization towards humanization arises, the aim of this article is to highlight the importance of evangelization as a permanent task of the Church, and to point to the fact that the object of evangelization is everything that is human and that is lived in a particular culture. In this sense, evangelization presents itself also as a way of humanizing our relationships. We then point to the selected specific areas that need to be evangelized, which have appeared as a consequence of newly emerging cultural changes, such as, economics and transhumanist project. The final part of the article highlights certain specific contributions of evangelization to the humanization of our relationships, such as the culture of coexistence, the culture of compassion and solidarity, intercultural dialogue and the culture of hospitality. In the end, the article suggests that the reference point and the horizon of evangelization which focuses on the humanization of our relationships is Jesus Christ, his person and his actions, and especially his lifestyle and the way he behaved with those he encountered.
