Mouw Chimes in On Bell, Part 2

Yesterday, I posted about Richard Mouw being quoted by a USA Today columnist about Rob Bell and his new book, Love Wins. I expressed a hope that Mouw would actually post something on his blog that would give us more about his take on the book and Bell's theology.

Well, today he did just that with a post entitled, "The Orthodoxy of Rob Bell." He suggests that Rob Bell is not unlike C. S. Lewis, Billy Graham, and Mouw himself in their perspective of "salvific generosity." He asks, "Why don’t folks who criticize Rob Bell for wanting to let too many people in also go after people...who want to keep too many people out? Why are we rougher on salvific generosity than on salvific stinginess?" Read the Complete Post
