N.D. Wilson lists 9 things that Love Wins tells us about some of the views of Rob Bell:
- If you’ve ever heard a Jesus story that made your pulse increase or your stomach churn and made you say or think “I could never be a part of that,” then Rob Bell wants to be on your team. You’re right, and he’s with you (p.viii).
- Eminem might be a Christian. Or not. Not sure. He did wear a cross once in 2010 (pp. 121,136).
- Gandhi might be in Hell. Or not. No real comment, but the possibility seems distressing (p.2).
- Bell “raises questions” like some people raise rabbits. Incidentally, those rabbits raise more rabbits and those rabbits look pensive when you ask them things (see Love Wins).
- Many people assume (from television that Jesus is anti-science or anti-gay. No comment on whether in fact he is (p.8).
- A woman wrote the book of Hebrews (p. 10).
- Given enough time, every last sinner – dead or alive – might succumb to the love of God and end up in Heaven. Or not (p.107).
- Jesus is obviously bigger than any one religion (p.150).
- If you really want your church to be “missional” and “relevant” and “welcoming”, but the clever marketing and good music and great coffee aren’t working, then something is probably wrong with your God (p.174). (N. D. Wilson, Books and Culture)
Hi, saw your post on Tony Reinke's blog, http://spurgeon.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/book-giveaway-1/#comment-25610,not sure whether he contacted you about your kind offer. If you have one book still available, I would be much interested in the THL Parker's book. I've received a strong recommendation for it by a prof and pastor.
