Yes, I did actually read Love Wins by Bell. Most of the words, anyway. What a sad and sorry excuse for a real book. Re-hashed liberal nonsense with a smattering neo orthodox double talk delivered in a post modern stream of consciousness. But it purports to champion God's Love so ... it must be good, RIGHT? Try to clear your head junior and then work through the material Resurgence has put together for us:

For a great Reformed perspective on this, enjoy this link:

8Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9Resist him, firm in your faith 1 Pet 5
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 1 Pet 3:15 ff
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 23Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24And the Lord’s servantd must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. 2 Tim 2 22-26
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spiritsa of the world, and not according to Christ. 9For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, Col 2
