Abstract
We are experiencing a change of times that is radically transforming the identity of the Western world and creating new and radical challenges to Christianity which is called to get involved again in reality that is progressively shifting away from it. The first part of the article reconstructs some important features of postmodernity and postmodern reli-gious experience and then focuses on some crucial issues for the credible announcement of the Gospel. Acknowledging the inadequacy of some views of God, of the Church, and of faith, the article tries to highlight some instances of contemporary sensibility. Above all, it insists on the need for bringing the question of meaning back to the centre and to over-come the crisis of reason in order to rebuild the alliance between faith and reason by rec-ognizing in the logos the ground to announce the Gospel and dialogue with cultures.
