A well-written review of the new Rob Bell book...I know there are a lot of Rob Bell fans out there, and certainly a fair share of critics. In reading the selections from "Love Wins," it is clear Bell is making some dramatic leaps beyond the fringes of orthodoxy. It's a long, but valuable, read.
God Is Still Holy and What You Learned in Sunday School Is Still True: A Review of “Love Wins”
I'm half-way through this book right now and absolutely appalled. I've never been a "fan" of Rob bell, and knew that he had some whacky views of things, but this book pushes the limits. To me, this book is a mockery of Jesus' death on the cross. If God will "melt even the hardest of hearts" in the end, then why was the sacrifice necessary? And if we need "Jesus to save us from God," as Bell says, then what ever happened to the Holy Trinity?
