The Complete Encyclicals, Bulls, and Apostolic Exhortations:

The Complete Encyclicals, Bulls, and Apostolic Exhortations: Volume 1
"Spirituality & Practice 2016 Award Winner."

For the first time, all five major writings of Pope Francisâ€”his encyclicals, bulls, and apostolic exhortationsâ€”are gathered into one volume.

Pope Francisâ€”the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Churchâ€”was elected on March 13, 2013. Since then, he has been the most influential religious leader in the world, drawing praise and admiration from people of all faiths.

The impact of his writings has been felt not just in the Catholic Church for which they were intended but throughout the world. Each of the five works collected in The Complete Encyclicals, Bulls, and Apostolic Exhortations is a book unto itself, so this volume is one that can be cherished, read, and reread by all Catholics and devotees of Pope Francis for many years to come.

Volume 1 includes:
- Lumen Fidei, June 29, 2013: The Light of Faith is an encyclical on the centrality of faith, the relationship between reason and faith, the Churchâ€™s role in the transmission of faith, and how faith results in redeeming the world.
- Evangelii Gaudium, Nov. 24, 2013: The apostolic exhortation The Joy of the Gospel has been called Pope Francisâ€™s manifesto. It challenges all Christians to approach evangelization anew and overcome complacency in order to fulfill Christâ€™s great mission.
- Misericordiae Vultus, April 11, 2015: In The Face of Mercy, the papal bull for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy in 2015, the pope urges Catholics, â€œWe need constantly to contemplate the mystery of mercy.â€
- Laudato Siâ€™, May 24, 2015: Praise Be to You: On Care for Our Common Home is the landmark encyclical in which Pope Francis issued a call to the entire Churchâ€”and the worldâ€”on climate change, human responsibility, the role of faith in how we live among Godâ€™s entire creation, and the future of the planet.
- Amoris laetitia, March 19, 2016: Love in the Family is an exhortation published after the Synods on the Family. In it, Pope Francis ranges in his quotations and examples from St. Thomas Aquinas and Martin Luther King Jr. to the film Babetteâ€™s Feast.
