Tony is one of my favorite voices of the Christian faith that is always prodding, challenging the status quo and pushing the envelope. He camps out on topics that most are afraid to touch. From the publisher:
Over the past couple of decades, evangelical Christians have tended to be associated with the religious right and the most conservative positions of the Republican Party. Rebelling against this designation are those who prefer to be called Red Letter Christians, desiring to live out the red letters of Jesus words in the New Testament. Believing that Jesus is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, Red Letter Christians want to jumpstart a religious movement that will transcend partisan politics and concentrate on issues such as fighting poverty, caring for the environment, advancing peace, promoting strong families, and supporting a consistent ethic of life, all viewed as critical moral and biblical values. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, Campolo will make you think and pray and act.
