Wow! Thanks for posting this. This is the first I’ve heard about this. I’m no fan of Campolo. But it might be that he was intending to state the Rabbi’s views and not necessarily his own. In which case, Campolo is guilty of sloppy writing. I’ll be interested to hear if Tony C. “clarifies” this.
Mark, yes, he was stating the rabbi’s views. But, he did more than repeat those views; he suggested that we should embrace them (emphasis added):
So, in Kushner’s view, God is mighty but not almighty. If that’s the idea Campolo wants me to take up, I’d rather stick to orthodoxy.
By the way, Campolo’s article is here.
