Rob Bell, the pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Michigan, wrote a book on heaven and hell called Love Wins. It has not been released yet. A lot of people have been blogging and tweeting on this topic. See the one blog that started the criticism. NY Times has written an article on this as well. I hear that it is one of the top ten trending topics on twitter. People are calling Rob Bell a Universalist. I think this is a difficult issue. Frankly, I continue to wrestle with this issue. I live with a lot of tension in my life on this issue. I will be reading this book to see what his position is. I don't want to judge him before I read the book. I think this article from Christianity Today captures the civility of the debate and the struggles of many Christians who take the Bible seriously. Check it out:
