MacArthur Quote Concerning Bell's Views

The quote below is the last part of an article by John MacArthur concerning his assessment of what Rob Bell is saying in his new book. I thought, when I read this part of the article, that it was one of the best descriptions of the past 20 years in evangelicalism, how to remedy it--AND----why Bell's book is so popular.

It is also time for the people of God to proclaim the gospel more clearly and more carefully than ever, including the difficult parts of the message. For too long evangelicals have been prone to omit the full truth about sin, righteousness, and judgment—falling back instead on dumbed-down, dampened, defanged versions of the message. In all candor, that is one of the main reasons there is so much confusion over Rob Bell’s book among evangelicals today.
