I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.
Tony Campolo
The real problem that I think those of us who are evangelicals and Democrats have to face up to is that the political right controls the religious media.

Of the 22 industrialized nations of the world, we're dead last in per capita giving to poor people.
Tony Campolo
I've got some repenting to do. I doubt, however, that those who have wedded Christianity with laissez-faire capitalism will see things this way. I can just hear them saying, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Clinton's successor in the White House, George W. Bush, was committed to expanding government spending for faith-based initiatives.
Tony Campolo
I don't doubt that God can bring good out of tragedies, but the Bible is clear that God is not the author of evil!

I contend that Bush would be a lot more moderate if there weren't some fundamentalists breathing down his neck every time he wants to establish the state of Israel, every time he wants to do justice for the Palestinian people.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick, to feed the hungry, to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical, everything would change.

Beyond these models of reconciliation, a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam. Both religions have within their histories examples of ecstatic union with God, which seem at odds with their own spiritual traditions but have much in common with each other.
Tony Campolo
Prior to ROE V. WADE, abortions were common even though they were illegal. I don't think making them illegal again is going to solve the problem.
Tony Campolo
If we were to set out to establish a religion in polar opposition to the Beatitudes Jesus taught, it would look strikingly similar to the pop Christianity that has taken over the airwaves of North America.

Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
Tony Campolo
The Jesus of the Scripture transcends all nations and calls all nations into judgment.
Tony Campolo
There's nothing wrong with making a lot of money, there's something wrong with keeping it.
Tony Campolo
Most of us are tiptoeing through life so we can reach death safely. We should be praying, If I should wake before I die. . . . Life can get away from you.
Tony Campolo
What I am trying to say is that Jesus who incarnated God 2,000 years ago is mystically present and waiting to be discovered in EVERY person you and I encounter

I'm not denying that depression can be spiritually induced. Guilt from having wronged and hurt others can bring it on. A sense of having failed to live out the will of God can give rise to depression. Certainly the fear of death and what might follow can sap the joy out of life.
Tony Campolo
One of the most startling discoveries of my life was the realization that the Jesus that I love, the Jesus who died for me on Calvary, that Jesus, is waiting, mystically and wonderfully, in every person I meet. I find Jesus everywhere.
