Rob Bell: A Chronology of responses to Rob Bell's 'Love Wins'

Rob Bell recently wrote a book 'Love Wins'. Which has sparked a lot of controversy. This post is taken directly from the Resurgence. You can view the original post here. I haven't actually read the book so I won't say much, except to say if you are planning on reading it, probably be careful. Pray before you read and ask God if He wants you to read it, and also ask someone wiser you know if they think it's a good idea.

If you don't know where to start, watch the first video, then read the post by Justin Taylor, the review by Challies. The Kevin De Young review is very indepth, it's 20 pages. The interview with Adrian Warnock and Rob Bell is interesting.
