RIP, Rob Bell – Michael Kimpan – Red Letter Christians. A thoughtful look at what may yet come out of the obvious cultural changes regarding homosexual relationships, the meaning of marriage, and the implications for the church.

Greg Carey: Rob Bell Comes Out for Marriage Equality. Well, this has been the big buzz on twitter and elsewhere among the socially networked religious types. My guess? Evangelicals – we told you so, heretic. Rob Bell fans – we told you so, Christians eat their young/condemn their best and brightest. It will be interesting […]

Have a little free time tonight, so I’m going to repost the 2011 podcasts iTunes. I’m looking at a couple different new podcasts although recently I have been pondering Facebook, Twitter, and Personal Boundaries. In light of some of the recent NFL player tweets and the problems that has caused and pastors and other community […]

Well, Lent was certainly interesting and perhaps the most interesting part was the continued debate over Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins. While the press coverage is largely done, the debate among pastor people and religious blogs is continuing. During this season when we remembered Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection, one segment of the church focused […]

This started on Facebook but a running post here on Wired Jesus might make a better venue for discussion, especially considering my next podcast that is in the works is on the larger issue of the evangelical uproar over the book. Rob has not said anything new, as he says, but I would say the […]

Rob Bell and C.S. Lewis (by Jeff Cook) | Jesus Creed. One of the best reflections on this matter by an evangelical and I believe he is spot on when he concludes with this: The debate over Love Wins is not actually a fight only about doctrine. It is about angst caused by different cultures […]

A Question about Martin Bashir’s Question | Jesus Creed. You learning something new all the time. I don’t watch much MSNBC but Martin was very dogged about having Rob Bell answer the either/or question on salvation and personal decision. I had no idea he was an evangelical and to my own embarassment, I stereotyped him […]

Rob Bell’s ‘Love Wins’: Reviews, comments and book sales pour in | MLive.com. An interesting story from the local Grand Rapids newspaper about the book and a video clip from a very persistant MSNBC reporter who wants black and white answers to the mysteries of God. Its funny, really. Rob tries to be patient with […]

I wrote the transcript for this last week, before the promo release of Rob’s new book, Love Wins. You can see my comments below about the “controversy” about the book but it touches on the problem a segment of the Christian world has with Rob – that he is too easy on sin and hell. […]
