Please note that this page will, eventually, have to become a disambiguation page, since there is also a pro baseball pitcher with the same name, and possibly others as well. ^BlankVerse 21:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Added the image at the top asking for edits to be discussed here. I just want to keep everyone on the same page. Thanks. --Derek Spalla 18:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

151.199.175.100 - if you're going to disagree with my warning box at the top of the article, you should at least log in and it discuss it here. This is exactly the reason why I posted the warning in the first place.--Derek Spalla 10:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

This section needs some citations for those items listed, otherwise it's just fantasy instead of true facts.--Derek Spalla 00:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bibliography

Added Sex God to the list since it was mentioned in the Other Projects section and can be found on Zondervan's website about Rob Bell--Derek Spalla 12:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

I removed the "more resources" link that went to Christian book distributors. Wikipedia policy in the Links normally to be avoided section: #8 Bookstore sites; instead, use the "ISBN" linking format, which gives readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources. See the Wikipedia External Links policy if in doubt. --Derek Spalla 18:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Added the Christianity Today article by Andy Crouch. It seems to fit in line with the article from BeliefNet.--Derek Spalla 12:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotations

I am confused - why are there supposed quotes from Rob Bell from a book not written by him that is a satirical take on the religious right? Can these quotes be authenticated at all or are they made up? When and where did Rob say those things? --Virgil Vaduva 02:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

They are legitimate quotes from an interview the author conducted with Rob Bell

[edit] Inaccurate quotes

To the anon editor - if you would please authenticate the quotes you keep posting, perhaps that would help with the constructive creation of this article. Referencing obscure websites does not qualify as quotation material in my book, so could you perhaps provide more evidence of where and when these quotes appeared?
