Michael Horton Reviews “Love Wins”

I was hoping Mike Horton would review Rob Bell’s newest book. It is a thoughtful review which sets Bell’s understanding of the gospel and heaven and hell in historical context. Horton also, appropriately, challenges Bell’s habit of asking rhetorical questions in a way that mitigates against any real conversation. In other words, Bell makes very clear assertions but he disguises them as questions. His questions are not questions at all. He offers caricatures of the historic views of hell and then dismisses them in the form of a question. Dr. Horton also points out the problems in “Love Wins” related to the attributes of God, the doctrine of man, and the nature of the Gospel.

Dr. Horton’s review appears in two parts. Take time to read the entire review.
