Rob Bell - Velvet Elvis

Rob Bell is one of the leading voices in the emerging church movement altough he would never label himself as such. This book is worth reading and is quite challenging at a number of levels. There is a challenge to narrow simplistic doctrine and instead Rob emraces a broader more flexible doctrine. Whilst I understand where he comes from I fear that the door may be opened to doctrinal laxness leading to errors in the faith of the church. 

I enjoyed the book. It is written in

Rob's

broken

style.

It is in fact more oratory in style. Don't expect deep theology, but rather a challenging, enjoyable and worthwile read.
