Well.

First I should point out that your compatriot on this thread turned out to be a troll. Second, I should point out that you accused everyone who didn't share the same sycophantic view as you was subject to an attack by you on their true Christianity.

Third, your behavior is very very strange on all of this. You behave as if we've insulted a lover. Fourth, the guy is a sociologist. Not only is that the area of academic study with the weakest standards of scholarship (nonexistant) it doesn't mean anything. Fifth, you quote his endless streams of books to try to counter that he's self-promoting. Alright, here we go:

His website. Note his smiling mug and bald pate right on the front. If you click on Media, you can see several photos and witness his speaking style. And his store is quite comprehensive.
The Campolo College of graduate and professional studies. Such a humble guy. Do you know what you have to do to get your name on a college at a University? Two guesses. And the cheaper one doesn't count.
'Evangelical Christianity Has Been Hijacked': An Interview with Tony Campolo; Speaking out on gays, women and more, a progressive evangelical says 'We ought to get out of the judging business.' This is interesting. He judgementally judges the judgemental.
You can hire him as a speaker.

In my long sojourn in this life, I have found that there are two kinds of clergy: Those who serve the Gospel and those who let the Gospel serve them. I think he uses the Gospel for his own ends. He follows God because God tells him what he wants to hear. He certainly speaks alot about the most secular of political issues. He's a poster on Huffington Post and appeared on the comedy(!) show Colbert Report. He clearly loves being the Left's favorite evangelical. Most of what he does appears to be quite good. There doesn't seem to be much of an issue with his organization, either. Too much of it is about Tony for my taste.

To conclude, please click on this pdf called Over the Top for Jesus and count with me the pages on which his face appears: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (oh, there's his kid with a "Campolo for Congress '76" t-shirt, I guess he was runnin' for Jesus), 16, 17, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 33, 34, 36.

I actually didn't think very ill of the guy but when I read your posts, as a defender of his, I changed my mind. And if it were to come out that EAPE had issues of financial mismanagement, I would not be surprised.
