Randy Alcorn discusses Mark Galli’s God Wins, one of several book-length responses to Rob Bell’s Love Wins. “I pray people will read and heed this book with the knowledge that our evangelical churches are at a doctrinal and leadership crossroads, and much is at stake.
Alcorn writes:
Mark Galli is the senior managing editor for Christianity Today magazine. As a journalist educated at UC Santa Cruz, Fuller Seminary, and UC Davis, he is not someone whose résumé screams “intolerant fundamentalist.” Whether it’s meant as a compliment or criticism, most who know Mark would call him “open-minded.” He dialogues respectfully with those coming from various theological orientations. He doesn’t rush to judgment or hastily draw lines in the sand.
Galli is a big-tent evangelical, and that’s part of what makes this book so potent. His penetrating critique of Rob Bell’s Love Wins demonstrates that even a big tent can be only so big before terms such as Bible believing and evangelical, in the historic sense, begin to lose their meaning.
