It’s no doubt that Rob Bell has made an impression on the Christian community at large. His multiple books, Nooma video series, and more have been widely engaged in the church. But, are his teachings truthful and helpful? A recent documentary called “The Heretic” has come out that gives a brief explanation of where Rob’s been and what he’s been teaching these last 13 or 14 years. We find that whereas Rob offers a seemingly authentic and genuine version of Christianity, the traditional and orthodox teaching of Christianity far outweighs it with power, beauty, and truth. Author and professor Owen Strachan joins us this week to discuss this documentary.
