elizabethwatson 's review for:
I have a complicated relationship with Rob Bell's writing. I like his points, but not usually his conclusions. He's considered "controversial" but he rarely commits to said controversial opinions. Love Wins is much of the same. 85% of the book is not controversial. The remaining 15% has been said before (and better) by other authors.
Did Rob Bell say that all people go to heaven? No. (At least, I don't think so. He does love being vague.) He did leave the possibility of finding salvation after death open, and perhaps of all people eventually finding salvation. Other Christian writers and theologians have done the same. It's not exactly a new idea.
If the book has a definite thesis (and I'm not sure that it does), it's that salvation is about more than who gets to heaven and who is thrown into hell. If so, I would have to agree. But again, this is hardly new and has been expounded better elsewhere.
