Comment by James Nored on March 6, 2011 at 11:36pm: Here is the actual Rob Bell video clip of his new book, Love Wins. I'm not sure why all the controversy. Bell seems to just be raising the kinds of questions that people have on these subjects, not necessarily giving a position.

Comment by James Nored on March 5, 2011 at 5:14pm: Here is Albert Mohler on the Rob Bell controversy.

Comment by James Nored on March 5, 2011 at 5:05pm: In this article the NY Times weighs in on the Rob Bell controversy about heaven and hell and universalism.

Comment by James Nored on March 2, 2011 at 10:31pm: Just in case you had not heard, HarperCollins has painted Rob Bell as a universalist in his latest book. Don't know if he has said this yet or not. Click here for the story.
