This video got me geared up to get this book when it comes out next month (I haven't read anything by Rob Bell yet). The message of the universal, unconditional love of God is breathing new life into people everywhere. However, the vast majority of Christianity is in line with the person who wrote the note in the video... and I am sure they are going to have lots of "notes" to write about Rob Bell. :)

Thanks for posting that video! I just put in my pre-order for the book on Amazon. I can hardly wait to read it. I think I own almost every book about universalism (or which express ideas close to universalism, even if the author does not use that word) written in the past 100 years. Those books have taught me so much about God's love and helped me realize that I was not alone in my beliefs at a time when I still had not discovered many of the universalist blogs.
Yeah, I am curious to see if Rob embraces the word or just uses the concept. In any case, it will be interesting to see the response he gets. I think Rob has a pretty wide Christian audience, many of whom I would assume have never even questioned hell to any great degree.
Been Waiting for a few years now for Rob to "come out of the closet". IMO, he's leaned in the dirction of universalism for a while. He has MUCH to lose by coming out. Only he can make that decision.
