In his role as a Kerygma Initiative Research Fellow, Rev. James Williams is currently studying the affect of "Tony Campolo Modeled" sermons and their effect over a five-year test period in a given community. His work compares the impact of these Campolo-modeled sermons with the praxis and effectiveness of Dr. Campolo's own ministry in five key years of his career. This research has been a fruitful discussion partner with the homiletical voices of the last century, and demonstrates that Dr. Campolo’s preaching model offers both valuable insights and pressing questions for homileticians in the emerging, highly digital, and rapidly shifting landscape of the twenty-first century. The research process has included: compilation of the exhaustive Tony Campolo bibliography; extensive one-on-one interviews with Dr. Campolo and other pertinent voices; qualitative and quantitative ethnographic and phenomenological field research; archival work of primary sources within the nascent Tony Campolo library; transcription and analysis of 45+ Tony Campolo sermons; extensive literature review surveying the forty+ authored books of Dr. Campolo.
