American evangelicalism is at a crisis point. The naked grasping at
political power at the expense of moral credibility has revealed a
movement in disarray. Evangelicals are now faced with a quandary:
will they double-down and continue along this perilous path, or
will they stop, reflect, and change course? And while support of
Donald Trump has produced the tipping point of the evangelical
crisis, it is not by any means its only problem. Evangelicals claim
the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith. But in
reality, it is particular readings of the Bible that govern
evangelical faith. Some evangelical readings of the Bible can be
highly selective. They distort the Bible's teaching in crucial ways
and often lead evangelicals to misguided attempts to relate to the
world around them. Many Christians who once self-professed as
"evangelicals" can no longer use the term of themselves because of
what it has come to represent--power-mongering, divisiveness,
judgementalism, hypocrisy, pride, greed. Some leave not just
evangelicalism but Christianity for good. Jesus v. Evangelicals is
an insider's critique of the evangelical movement according to its
own rules. Since evangelicals regard themselves governed by the
Bible, biblical scholar Constantine Campbell engages the Bible to
critique evangelicals and to call out the problems within the
contemporary evangelical movement. By revealing evangelical
distortions of the Bible, this book seeks to restore the dignity of
the Christian faith and to renew public interest in Jesus, while
calling evangelicals back to his teaching. Constantine Campbell
appeals to evangelicals to break free from the grid that has
distorted their understanding of the Bible and to restore public
respect for Christianity in spite of its misrepresentations by the
evangelical church.
