Rare was his mastery of early modern Cisterciensia as well as the medieval patrimony of the movement. Several of Bell's works were on the Trappist abbot de Rancé. Bell was married to Terryl N. Kinder, also an authority on Cistercian history. He taught at Memorial University of Newfoundland, publishing 34 books and hundreds of articles. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
