Al Mohler and Russell Moore on Rob Bell's Book "Love Wins"

Not to go overboard on this topic about Rob Bell's book, but the issue of salvation, hell, and the sacrifice of Christ on the cross are critical doctrines for the Christian faith. Two more "heavyweights" have written about Bell's new book.

Al Mohler's review is good because he paints the picture in a historical context. He ably demonstrates that Bell is another in a long line of people who have attempted to save Christianity from itself.

Russell Moore's review takes an entirely different direction. He points out that Bell's view of salvation and judgment robs the Gospel of the significance of Christ's atonement for sin. I appreciate Dr. Moore's observations on the book because it adds some significant theological "weight" to the argument.

I would recommend both reviews for your reading because of the knowledge their blogs impart that go beyond just a book review.
