Unbelievable? 23 Apr 2011 - Rob Bell defends 'Love Wins'
Playback speed
"Love Wins" by US megachurch pastor Rob Bell has ignited a theological debate about the nature of Hell, the nature of God and whether all people will utimately be saved. Bell joins Justin Brierley to discuss the book and respond to some of the key criticisms that have been levelled at it.
UK Church blogger Adrian Warnock disagrees with many of Bell's conclusions and believes he is swimming outside the stream of evangelical orthodoxy. We also hear from listeners who have been tweeting and emailing their questions.
A Video version of the debate will be available at the Unbelievable website soon http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable
