Pilgrim: A Theological Memoir

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.
