Red Letter Revolution

Best-selling authors Shane Claiborne and Tony Campolo talk candidly about the life and teaching of Jesus and the wisdom he offers our fractured world. For all the Christians facing conflict between Jesus words and their own lives; for all the non-Christians who feel they rarely see Jesus commands reflected in the choices of his followers; Red Letter Revolution is a blueprint for a new kind of Christianity, one consciously centered on the words of Jesus, the Bibles red letters. Framed as a captivating dialogue between Shane Claiborne, a progressive young evangelical, and Tony Campolo, a seasoned pastor and professor of sociology, Red Letter Revolution is a life-altering manifesto for any Christian. It is a call to a lifestyle that considers first and foremost Jesus explicit, liberating message of sacrificial love. Shane and Tony candidly bring the words of Jesus to bear directly on contemporary issues of liturgy, community, Islam, hell, homosexuality, civil disobedience, and twenty other critical topics for modern believers. The resulting conversations reveal the striking truth that Christians guided unequivocally by the words of Jesus will frequently reach conclusions utterly contrary to those of mainstream evangelical Christianity. If the Jesus who speaks to you through the gospels is at odds with the Christian culture you know, if you have ever wanted to stand up and say I love Jesus, but thats not me, Red Letter Revolution will prove that you are not aloneyou may have been a Red Letter Christian all along.
