Constantine Campbell: Jesus v. Evangelicals

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.”

Ed Stetzer: Coming Back

We have to take a step back as we teach God’s Word, building upon the grand narrative of redemption to show how every issue dealt with in the story of God is centered in Christ.

Tanita Maddox: Showing Up for Gen Z

There are just so many things that are compelling about the triune God and the way that triune God has enacted redemption for us and continues to sanctify us after we follow him. We just have to pull the contextualization out for our young people so they can see it on their terms.

Created for Relationships

There’s something about community—the relationships, the sense of belonging, the support and encouragement, the sympathy and understanding—that deepens our lives and anchors our souls.
