Rob Bell’s Love Wins (HarperOne) continues to enliven the online world.

David Platt—author of Radical and Radical Together—responded with a video from India. He not only challenges intellectual universalism—“thinking that in the end everyone is going to be OK”—but also what he believes is worse, functional universalism, “living like in the end everyone is going to be OK.”

Justin Taylor, vice president of editorial at Crossway, weighs in on Love Wins at the Gospel Coalition site, here. He also calls on Christians to pray for Bell and his followers. “Rob Bell needs to know and teach the liberating gospel of grace—including that Christ absorbed the Father’s wrath on behalf of those who trust in him and repent of their sins. And there are tens of thousands of folks who look to Rob Bell as a biblical teacher and leader. May God give much mercy.”

Al Mohler, Southern Seminary president and author, moderated a panel discussion on Love Wins, which is available here.

Jesus Creed author and professor Scot McKnight takes a tour through some of the controversial posts in his Weekly Meanderings, here.
