Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived by Rob Bell
4.0
A fun book written for the public covering mainstream and historic theology. The "controversy" involves not only the differences between modern evangelical and mainline/Roman Catholic, but more importantly, the non-historical, public, common-place mis-representation of traditional theology that is more influenced by Dante and South Park than by Scripture itself.
Perhaps a better renunciation can be found at the beginning of McLaren's -A New Kind of Christianity-, in which most of what many take as a given is institutionally created and not representative of the Jesus portrayed in the gospels, but the Jesus filtered through theologians, particularly Luther and Calvin.
In a nut shell, Bell is only shocking to Evangelicals and the crowd that goes to church only on Christmas and Easter; for the rest of us, -Love Wins- is an enjoyable exercise exploring the implications of each decision -we- make when we attempt to understand the nature of the cosmos.
