Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be.

Rob Bell

Rob Bell (* 1970) ist ein US-amerikanischer Autor, Podcaster und ehemaliger Pastor, der 1999 die Mars Hill Bible Church in Michigan gründete. Er wurde zu einer prominenten Stimme des progressiven Christentums und der Emergent-Church-Bewegung, die starre Glaubenssätze hinterfragt und biblische Texte lebensnah und beziehungsorientiert auslegt. Sein Buch „Love Wins“, in dem er traditionelle Vorstellungen von ewiger Verdammnis anzweifelte, führte zum Bruch mit weiten Teilen der evangelikalen Welt und macht ihn bis heute zu einem streitbaren Impulsgeber für Zweifelnde und Suchende.
