This handout defines the term kerygma and explains its biblical and theological foundations. It highlights examples from Scripture, quotes from popes, and a simple five-part summary of the Gospel message. Reflection questions invite participants to consider their own experience of the kerygma and how they might proclaim it to others.
Why we recommend it:
Sometimes people hear the word kerygma but don’t really know what it means. This resource makes it concrete and communal: it clarifies vocabulary, roots the definition in Scripture and Tradition, and helps people see how the kerygma is not just an idea but something to be lived and shared. Consider using the Scripture references and quotes from Church documents and saints on this handout for Lectio Divina prayer together. The questions on the back side of the page, can be a great source of discussion for your team. Perfect as a supplement in leader trainings, catechist formation, or adult faith sessions.
