This morning we posted a review of the following book on SharperIron. I hope that you will read this review and some of the comments in the discussion thread. I think that the statements that clarify Bell's theological position are helpful along with the review of this book. I find myself at odds with some of the things I've heard and read about Bell. I have not yet read this book, nor have I read his book Velvet Elvis. I don't know that I ever will. There are so many other better things to read. However, this is a popular book and I appreciate the effort Beth put forth to read, interact with, and review this book. I hope that her comments and those in the thread will be helpful to you!
There is much to be aware of with Bell and his evangelical circle. I hope that this discussion will be helpful.
