Rob Bell is the founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville, Michigan, one of the fastest growing churches in American history. He lives with his wife, Kristen, and their two boys in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Rob's first book is titled Velvet Elvis : Repainting the Christian Faith.
The Emerging Church movement is a movement which seeks to revitalise the Christian church beyond what it sees as the confines of modernity, so that it can effectively engage with people in a postmodern age.
Brian McLaren is a prominent author who is a spokesperson for this movement.
Rob Bell may also be seen as a proponent of Postmodern Christianity, but in a more indirrect way than Brian McLaren. Rob is the Teaching Pastor at Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids Michigan (Mars Hill) and recently released a book entitled "Velvet Elvis"; adding his thoughts to the ongoing discussion of the Christian faith (See also fans of rob bell jr. & the mars hill bible church).

I have always enjoyed Rob Bell's teaching style. There is something that is very subversive and simple while bearing a substantial message.
