DESCRIPTION:
In this book, Tony Campolo sounds a call for Christians to address controversial issues honestly and courageously, without bowing to political correctness or party lines. Clear thinking, straight shooting, and thoroughly committed to the relevance of the gospel in today's world, Tony penetrates our complacency with arguments that are sometimes unpredictable, sometimes infuriating, but always loving and never bland.
"Proclaiming the Gospel is not an American political statement" according to AJC. Love him or hate him Dr. Tony Campolo is not afraid to speak his mind. In Is Jesus a Republican or a Democrat?: And 1Proclaiming the Gospel is not an American political statement AJC Love him or hate him Dr. Tony Campolo is not afraid to speak his mind. In Is Jesus a Republican or a Democrat?: And 14 Other Polarizing Issues Tony Campolo shows how many Christians in America identify their Christian beliefs with the political party they have individually embraced. This book covers everything from homosexual rights, to abortion, and how Christians view the poor and what should be done by Christians for the poor. If I have a criticism it is not my disagreement with Dr. Campolo on the issues he addresses, but I think he is predispos.

Compassion and Truth Tony Campolo is a compassionate, thinking Christian, who has the Lewisian knack of communicating with the average guy on the street. Repeatedly he directs his thoughts to what the Bible says, and what he thinks Jesus would have done- irrespective of what his culture, or any other culture, might say. He may not always get it right- but that's what is so great about Tony- he in all humility admits that- but he truly tries to get to the center of the issues. I particularly enjoyed the last two essays on the situation of the poor, and the Christian res. "Neither" according to Steve Babbitt (bigdog@songofthecentury.com). I had the opportunity to interview Campolo as a journalist in the Spring of 1995, and during our interview, I happened to ask him the question that is the title of this book. Little did I know why his answer came so readily--he was working on it already! "Niether," he said, with the right-on authority a guy like Campolo exudes. I love his straight-shooting, and I'd love to interview him again some time. I hope everyone can hear his opinion on the subject.
