Tim Chillies provides one of the first complete reviews of Rob Bell’s new book, Love Wins
As he makes his case, Bell seems to delight in being obtuse, creating caricatures of opposing views that lack logic and compassion. He paints himself as the victim of the hateful, toxic, venomous denizens of certain corners of the Internet that believe “the highest form of allegiance to their God is to attack, defame, and slander others who don’t articulate matters of faith as they do” (p. 185).

My favorite quote of the week came from Nathan Finn’s blog on some recent controversy in the SBC (good entry by Dr. Finn and worth you while, by the way).
On the other hand, I’m pretty young (can’t help it–it’s my parent’s fault) and mostly Reformed (ditto–I’m just a biblicist). That’s strike one with some folks. I’m a member of a medium-sized church of about 400 or so, which means my church isn’t small enough to be part of the pure majority. Strike two. And I work at Southeastern Seminary, which along with our sister in Louisville is apparently a demon portal through which all the dark spirits enter into our Baptist Zion. Strike three. I guess all this means I am a Presbyterian emergent charismatic hipster who is ashamed of my Southern Baptist heritage.

What does it mean to a Christian citizens? How can we respond to contemporary public policy issues such as genocide, global AIDS, global warming, and human trafficking according to Scripture rather than political agendas?
With American evangelicals having more political influence than ever before, this book is especially important. Author Steve Monsma establishes the foundational biblical principles that are relevant to our lives as Christian citizens no matter the topic. His book will equip all believers to make godly, humanitarian choices rather than purely political ones.
