Love Wins - Rob Bell

Much controversy is being raised across the world wide web because of this video promoting Rob Bell's new book, "Love Wins", that has yet to be published.

Greg Boyd received an advanced copy and gives his opinion here.

An excerpt from Boyd's blog: "On the basis of a publisher’s promotional paragraph and an advertising video in which Rob Bell questions someone’s certainty that Ghandi is in hell, Justin Taylor sounded the web-wide alarm that Rob Bell’s forthcoming book Love Wins espouses universalism (the doctrine that everyone will eventually be saved). Though he too had not yet read the book, John Piper followed up with a puzzling melodramatic tweet bidding Rob Bell “Farewell“. An avalanche of tweets ensued — all (so far as I could discern) by people who had not read Bell’s forthcoming book — to the point that this yet-unpublished book became one of the top ten tweeted topics. (If this was planned by HarperCollins, the publisher of Love Wins, it was brilliant!!!)?

I - obviously - have no opinion since I have not read the book. I just find the controversy interesting and worth paying attention to.
