BW3 on Bell

Ben Witherington has completed his serial review of Bell’s book Love Wins. While I don’t think his review is quite as good overall as Bock’s, it has some worthwhile features:

i) It’s more detailed than Bock’s review.

ii) BW3 has a very catchy prose style.

iii) He corrects a number of Bell’s flagrant misinterpretations.

iv) BW3 writes from a Wesleyan perspective. So, of course, I disagree with some of his comments.

Since, however, Bell’s position is apparently a murky synthesis of universalism and freewill theism, the fact that BW3 comes at this from a libertarian perspective is a way of meeting Bell on his own turf. So that’s still a useful exercise.
