You can't separate the two, says Rob Bell, because this physical world is intimately linked to deeper spiritual realities. How God is described today strikes many as mean, primitive, backwards, illogical, tribal, and at odds with the frontiers of science As he revolutionized traditional teaching on hell in the phenomenal New York Times best seller Love Wins, Rob Bell now transforms how we understand and practice marriage in The Zimzum of Love, co-written with his wife, Kristen.
You know the two subjects are connected; you just don't have the words for how they are connected We have to test everything Do that to this book. Don't swallow it uncritically. Think about it. Wrestle with it We have to test everything. The hypocrites attacking Bell, if they would or could analytically examine their own sloppy attack Okay so I guess this isn't the kind of book I'm expected to read.
But hell who cares about expected. I'm not the biggest fan of christianity in the world. I grew up congregational and was told at 14 that children were too stupid to have opinions about god.
I was evangelical for a couple years yeah whole way talking in tongues and all, anyone want to talk about group theory. Eventually, for complicated reasons I decided I didn't believe in god. For years I've been part of a religion forum, it u This book was not altogether horrible, and there were a few paragraphs here and there that were commendable.
I certainly agree with Rob's optimistic assessment of 'the end times' and find that to be a refreshing departure from the depressing and unbiblical eschatology so popular in American Fundamentalism. As far as style The style of the book was at least unique, which is rare in a work like this. I found the style to be. Annoying mostly. Not only because of choppiness. This is a pretty good book and it deals with a subject that needs to be looked at. I'm not going to try and go into the subject in depth here in the review as it will be to some controversial and I'm not going for that.
If you wish to discuss it in comments I'll join in so long as we keep things civil. And that says a bit about the book's subject.
Christians should always be civil, but too often those of us who claim the name of Christ tend to act or react in the wrong way. Bell here attempts to So much has already been written on this book, that there is no reason to rehash it. Here were my biggest frustrations, not necessarily in order: 1. His complete lack of interaction with the holiness and justice of God renders his idea of the love of God deficient and impoverished. By focusing on the love of God, while excluding other attributes, Bell not only distorts the character of God, but he also distorts the love of God.
His historiography is tendentious and misleading at best, dishonest Terrible book. He pretends that orthodoxy is so deep and wide that practically nothing is unorthodox. I took lots of notes on it Gmail folder and may post some of it here eventually. Kevin DeYoung has a page review here. Donald Miller has a funny review here scroll down a little. And in a spoof of Rob Bell's promotional video, some goofballs made a parody video.
So is Rob Bell hellbound? We'll try and figure it out by the end of this review. Cross your fingers Robbie. I put off reading this babble for a few years - but since so many liberal and Evangelical church-goers claim to love this crap: I better give it a look.
And what the Hell did I find? Not the Biblical hell, that's for sure. I'm still not fully sure what Rob was insisting. Some hippy dribble about love and Buddhist enlightenment with a splash of reincarnation or new birth cycle? Makes me w I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed 'Love Wins'.
I've never been a Rob Bell fan, having started but never finished 'Velvet Elvis' and 'Sex God', but this book is worth picking up and wrestling with. For that reason — the value of wrestling with its topics — it will stand as one of the more important popular books of the decade. It isn't very deep. It isn't very broad. But it asks excellent questions and it has reached a large audience with those questions. After having just read C. May 31, David A. I was sympathetic, but I was skeptical, when I first heard of Love Wins, a hipster treatise on Jesus and human destiny.
I've appreciated Rob Bell the several times I've seen him speak; I liked his cadence and his rhythm and his horn rims and color scheme, but I also liked his way of thinking about the Bible. Nooma This video has a surprise ending, and a back story, so pay close attention to what goes on in the airport. Peter asks Jesus if he can join him walking on the water.
There are only two reasons for that possibility. Thanks to Yuckabuck for the heads up. I eust know; I was raised in a home with a New Age Mom. Dush an important, indeed crucial point. What does Peter lack? I think Rob Bell has a strong argument but you would have to read more about what he says on this topic, instead of taking this video out of context. I noticed the same idiosyncracies as the critic on the Aletheia site. Peter was not later restored because of something inherent in himself, but because of the djst of Christ and the ability of the Holy Spirit to enable him.
But what does that mean? The reason Bell is the first person to ever come up with his interpretation is because it is his own interpretation, not what Scripture teaches. They are for entry level discussion, and yet they do not lack meat. Email required Address never made public. Comment by paulthinkingoutloud — February 24, 9: The question dustt, how will we respond? We need to not forget we are talking about the Creator of all, no mistakes, knowledge of dus here.
Perhaps they are hampered by lack of self-confidence, perhaps they are harboring secret sin.
