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; pray and act.

Five StarsBy Tasso Gadzanisexcelent9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A terrific take on can't-sit-still cultural dynamismBy Allen F. RobertsVodun is difficult to pin down long enough to describe; yet Dana Rush manages to do so without flattening the adaptive energies of these vital practices. Her work is based upon long and patient research in the Republic of Benin and Togo; and is fascinating for its insights into practices that flourish in coastal west Africa as well as throughout the Black Atlantic where they were introduced via the transatlantic slave trade. As valuable is Dr. Rush's innovative methodology that will be of distinct value to any who hope to conduct research or simply know how to approach dynamic religions anywhere in the world.
