Description

Follow the faith journey of Tony Campolo, one of the most influential figures in modern evangelical Christianity

Millions of Christians know Tony Campolo as a popular speaker, bestselling author, parachurch leader, pastor, and counselor to a US president. But few know his personal faith journey--how throughout his life, existential encounters and unexplored ideas compelled him to continually reexamine and reform his theology.

As a child, Campolo saw how his parents and the various churches he attended embraced different approaches to faith. Growing up, he wrestled with questions about racism, worldliness, and faith and science. He would go on to write and speak about war and peace, feminism, capitalism, religion and politics, nationalism, homosexuality, and the religious right. Pilgrim: A Theological Memoir traces the evolution of Campolo's theology as he matured as a believer, scholar, and evangelical leader who continually sought to engage thoughtfully with the sociocultural challenges of his time and to encourage fellow believers to do the same.

Critic Reviews

Publishers Weekly
"A revealing window into a unique theological mind."

"I have every confidence that on Tony Campolo's day of reckoning, the words 'good and faithful servant' will reverberate across the heavens. Pilgrim captures the wisdom, the wit, and the prophetic witness of one of our most consistent voices calling for faithfulness to the demands of the gospel."
--Randall Balmer, John Phillips Professor in Religion, Dartmouth College; author of Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right

"Other than the sweet Lord Jesus, I can't think of anyone who has shaped me spiritually more than Tony Campolo, and I'm not alone when I say that. Tony is one of the most influential Christians in North America during the past half century. Over the decades, Tony has shown us what authentic faith looks like, and his faith is contagious. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering Tony for the first time, you are in for a treat with this book, which is a gift to the church and to the world."
--Shane Claiborne, cofounder of Red Letter Christians; author of Rethinking Life and The Irresistible Revolution: Living as anOrdinary Radical
