Christ Alone An Evangelical Response To Rob Bell's love Wins [Paperback]

In this highly readable and wonderfully engaging response to Rob Bells New York Times best seller Love Wins, Michael Wittmer examines Bells claims about heaven, hell, and the fate of every person who ever lived in the light of the Bible and historic Christian doctrine. Wittmer writes in the introduction, I respect Rob Bell. He wrote Love Wins to start a dialogue about the most important issues of our faith, and this book is my attempt as an evangelical to join that conversation.

FROM THE PREFACE BY MICHAEL S. HORTON

[Rob Bell] gave us a wake-up call and Michael Wittmer has answered it... Offering more light than heat, Christ Alone appreciates the attractiveness of Bells questions and conclusions....

With clarity and a gracious spirit, Wittmer provides a resource that I can hand my parishioners who are seeking answers to the questions raised in Rob Bells Love Wins. -- Pastor David Beelen, Madison Square Church, Grand Rapids, MI

Christ Alone is a gracious, respectful biblical and theological engagement with Love Wins. Wittmers astute questions hls*
