So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present. Tony Campolo

Tony Campolo quote: "I contend that, in spite of all that might be said about..."

Tony Campolo quote: "I think the time has come for the United States to do..."
I think the time has come for the United States to do even-handed justice. Tony Campolo
