Todd Mangum’s Impressions of Rob Bell’s Love Wins
Dr. Todd Mangum, Dean of the Faculty, Professor of Theology at Biblical Seminary
Todd Mangum, one of my professors from seminary, offers a good critique of Rob Bell’s Love Wins. I wanted to offer it here since I have been putting forth some of my own reflections.
Some might say: Why do you accept critique of Rob Bell? It appears you agree with him. First, I don’t agree with all of what Rob Bell has said in his book. I think he oversimplifies some things and has poor arguments in some areas. However, I have asked the Christian community to see where Bell is coming from and move away from the “fiery-arrow argumentation” being hurled by his opponents. Second, I accept such a critique because I don’t believe Todd has a vendetta against Bell. In fact, I believe Todd enjoys BEll, for the most part. Todd’s impressions (as he calls them) are fair, and, thus, he deserves to be heard.
