I read this forever ago when I was in collegr and just randomly unlocked that memory. Rob Bell could potentially be considered a pioneer in what is now tagged everywhere on the internet as the “deconstruction” movement. He was (is?) a pastor and had not left his practice of faith. I remember thinking “wow.. this dude is really like.. fuck this shit” while still continuing to lead and believe in god. But I also think it's hard to figure out where he was coming from. Was he naively trying to stand out and using controversy to do that? Or was he sincere and fed up with Christianity?
It would be interesting to read this again from a 2020s perspective and see how his ideas aged.
