cfrakes12 's review for:
I started this book excited to destroy it. I’ve heard how terrible and heretical (and believe me, the heresy is there in my opinion) Rob Bell and his writing was and that challenged me to want to believe the worst of this book and it’s author. I finish this book with a different feeling. Some of the things Bell says I categorically deny especially around the concepts of hell and the interrelation between other world religions and salvation. Other things, like his relationship between eschatology and current orthopraxy I am far less inclined to dismiss out of hand. Several times, it felt as though he walked very near faithful, truthful, profound thought and at the very last minute snatched his hand back for the sake of something more palatable and far less difficult to accept than what he had built toward. I cannot agree with Bell on many of his theological points, but I can appreciate the fact that he poured over Scripture in the process of writing this and landed on conclusions I personally couldn’t land on.
