I feel like Rob Bell expresses all of the "good" that religious teachings have to offer with none...
If I could find some kind of church where the pastor/teacher and congregation viewed scriptures in the way that Rob Bell does in his books and podcasts, I would be thrilled to join. The episode "The Last Guru" with guest Pete Rollins was one of his best. They discuss psychology, philosophy and theology in a seamless and humorous conversation based on their incredible rapport. If it is too extreme to call Rob a modern-day prophet (he would laugh at this), then at least he's a visionary and a person of great intellect, heart, and endless creativity. He's also very funny, and although I listen to a variety of well-produced and thoughtul podcasts, it is Rob Bell who most lifts me up in my many times of despair. I consider myself a skeptic/non-religious person who nontheless realizes we all have a spiritual element to our existence. If you are looking for something that satifies that itch where the speaker doesn't simply say "X is true becuase the Bible says so" then you might find that Rob's invitation for us to draw on our collective wisdom over the ages and then figure things out for ourselves going forward (as I interpret it) is truly a messsage of hope for us all.Read full review »

He has good insights into the Bible, and was instrumental in helping me see the bible as a progressive cultural library rather than a static book of regressive rules. Two things I've noticed in Rob's work is that he sometimes takes...Read full review »
