It’s remarkable to me really how this story has built up such a head of steam. Anyway to shed some light where there has been just heat, I’ve found an actual book review from someone who has actually read Rob Bell’s Love Wins. It makes for interesting reading.

*Update* Thanks to my friend Ian I’ve now a second review, this time by author Greg Boyd. And this adds to intrigue to the mystery.*

In other developments The Gospel Coalition has announced it’s adding a panel discussion on the topic of hell at its national conference this year. Tim Keller is on the panel which is not surprising because of his role in TGC but in the light of Keller’s thoughts on hell is certainly intriguing.

What is remarkable is that this debate in the US has even caught the attention of national media. It’s hard to imagine that happening in the UK unless the issue in question involved women or gays.

Scot McKnight lays out a spectrum of Christian beliefs about the downside of the afterlife. Where are you and where’s the line for heresy?

In a remarkable bit of foresight, just this week at a Newfrontiers Evangelists summit Greg Haslam was booked to speak on the doctrine of hell. When the audio is available I’ll stick a link up.
