Fidelity: The Demand of Jesus for a Covenant with God
Dr. Caleb Oladipo is Professor at Campbell University Divinity School, Buies Creek, NC, who shares and reflects on our Covenant promise “I will be sensitive to God’s message as it comes to me from persons. . .”
As a Christian from the Global South, Caleb weaves together scripture and his own moving personal life story to illustrate how God places others in our lives to point us to a deeper covenantal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Caleb serves as the Snellings Chair of Christian Evangelism and Missions and Director of the Braswell World Religions and Global Culture Center at Campbell Divinity School.
Caleb’s works explore the natural depth and character of Christianity in Africa and also addresses topics of race and justice from an African Christian perspective. In addition to two books, he has published numerous articles and presented lectures around the world on African Christianity and theology.
