In today s political environment, who speaks for whom is not
always clear. 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. Into this arena of thought steps Tony
Campolo, the powerful evangelist known for his passionate
and prophetic sharing of the radical message of Jesus. In
this book, Campolo examines many of the hot-button issues
facing evangelicals from the perspective of Jesus red-letter
words in the Bible. No matter where you fall on the
political spectrum, Campolo will make you think and pray and
act.
