Love Wins, Rob Bell’s new book, is generating debate and sales. Much of the debate is based on incomplete info (such as the book’s brief promo video). So we journeyed into the web and blogosphere to retrieve informed but varied perspectives on the book.
If you want to understand why Bell’s book matters to so many people, read these three perspectives:
A) Dr. Albert Mohler: Thumbs Down on Love Wins
The prolific president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary says Bell is a “genius” as a communicator. Mohler says Bell fails as a theologian and that Love Wins repackages old-style liberal theology.

“We’ve Seen All This Before“
“Universalism as a Lure“
B) Scot McKnight Mixed on Love Wins
McKnight says most kids in your youth groups are universalists and that Rob Bell’s book may not be helping matters.
C) Richard Mouw defends Bell’s theology in Love Wins
Fuller Theological Seminary President Richard Mouw says Bell is not forsaking biblical truth, but he is forsaking a form of “salvific stinginess” much prized by many evangelicals. (Bell is a Fuller grad.)
