This disheartening trend has exposed a movement in disarray, leaving evangelicals with a crucial decision to make. Will they persist in this perilous path, or will they pause, reflect, and redirect their course? While the support of Donald Trump has undoubtedly reached a tipping point in the evangelical crisis, it is important to recognize that this issue encompasses far more than just Trump's influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvangelicals firmly assert the Bible as their ultimate authority in matters of faith. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that their interpretation of the Bible is not uniform. Certain readings within the evangelical community can be highly selective, leading to distortions of the Bible's teachings and often resulting in misguided approaches to engaging with the world around them. Many Christians who once identified as evangelicals have abandoned the term due to its association with power-mongering, divisiveness, judgmentalism, hypocrisy, pride, and greed. Some have even left both evangelicalism and Christianity altogether.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesus v. Evangelicals is an insightful critique of the evangelical movement, based on its own principles. As a biblical scholar, Constantine Campbell utilizes the Bible to examine evangelicals and expose the issues within the contemporary evangelical movement. By unveiling evangelical distortions of the Bible, this book aims to restore the dignity of the Christian faith and rekindle public interest in Jesus, while urging evangelicals to return to his teachings. Constantine Campbell appeals to evangelicals to break free from the constraints that have skewed their interpretation of the Bible and to restore public respect for Christianity, despite its misrepresentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 231g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 212 x 141 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780310135449\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Constantine R.
