Almost exactly 45 years ago, Time published a historic cover with the words is god dead? on a stark black background. The question provoked enormous contro- versy, but the story carefully explored the role of faith in a secular and cynical age. This week, on the eve of Easter and Passover, we ask a different question: What if there's no hell? The story is both a portrait of Evangelical minister Rob Bell, who is shaking up the religious world with his tolerance for mystery and doubt, and in a larger sense, an exploration of Christianity's continuing struggle to reconcile itself with the modern world. The author of this week's cover is Ton Meacham.
