Bestselling Christian author, activist, and scholar Tony Campolo and his son Bart, an avowed Humanist, …

A long drive in the car…

Tony campolo had a huge impact on me as a kid, and the Christianity I fell for and into was the one he presented. I remember the relief I felt when he came out in support of same sex marriage - that I could still be Christian. The best bits of this book were where they explored common ground. The worst were where tony seemed to make sweeping generalisations about what humanism means. He seemed naive and cocky in his arguements. It’s not the best book for these topics but unique I think, in reflecting real depth of love and conversation betweeen two folk that could have ended up drifting further and further apart. So a good read, even for that alone.
