One of the most important challenges of Pastoral Theology nowadays is to study how to deliver the Truth to our public today. The world has lost its persuasive capacity, the "dictatorship of relativism" has taken its roots in every field. We are confronted to the rebirth of a "new religiosity" produced by the "emerging spiritualties". Against this background, objections have been raised saying that the Church has no valid answers for our world today. Nevertheless, it is the Church that has actually the best means to answer the preoccupations of men today, who are, in fact, deprived of truth, beauty and clear thinking. Starting from the quest for God, through the beauty, this work analyzes the great pastoral hope of our times: the Via Pulchritudinis.

Palabras clave : Via pulchritudinis; Pastoral Theology; Posmodernity; Relativism; Heralds of the Gospel.
