I never really had much of a desire to read a book by Rob Bell. However, my institution, Seattle Pacific University, is putting on a symposium on the book Love Wins and I have been asked to respond to the ideas in the book from the perspective of his interpretation of Scripture. So, I WILL be reading the book, but I asked the university to buy a copy for me!
Anyway, our session will be in a few weeks. I will post my reflections here when that symposium is over.
I have tried not to read blog posts and reviews so that I can come to the book “untainted,” so I will probably not be up to speed on what other folks think. So, just FYI, my own thoughts may be similar to other Bible profs.
Looking forward to your comments in this discussion Nijay. For what its worth, here are some of my musings regarding the Love Wins fervor prior to its release: http://www.jeffkeuss.com/blog/?p=614
