Jesus v. Evangelicals
Zondervan Reflective, 2023
By Constantine Campbell

WHO: Constantine Campbell, a New Testament scholar, author and musician.

HE SAYS: “A healthy and robust evangelicalism is committed to truth, regardless of how uncomfortable that may be.”

THE BIG IDEA: An insider’s critique of the evangelical movement according to its own rules.

THE PROGRESSION: In nine chapters the author examines the current state of evangelicalism and calls distortions of the Bible in the movement. The author seeks to renew interest in Jesus of the Bible and restore dignity to the Christian faith.

“The evangelical movement must be refashioned in Jesus’ image, rather than cast Jesus in its image.”
