No Hell: Was John Lennon half right?

An influential evangelical pastor is coming out with a new book that the publisher (HarperOne) explains in this way: "[In Love Wins] Bell addresses one of the most controversial issues of faith - the afterlife - arguing that a loving God would never sentence human souls to eternal suffering. With searing insight, Bell puts hell on trial, and his message is decidedly optimistic - eternal life doesn't start when we die; it starts right now. And ultimately, Love Wins. What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them?" Is this just spin to sell books? Or does he really believe no one goes to Hell?
