"The Shack" - A Subversive Theology


Dear friends,


I want to pass on to you a couple of great links concerning the best-selling "Christian" fiction, The Shack. Personally, I find it sad for how popular this book has become among Christian believers and how it is being received as something beyond fiction, but something that many have claimed "it has transformed their view of God." Again folks, we don't need a "new way" to look at God - we only need what is clearly shown to us in the Scriptures. And in The Shack, we have a journey of a man throwing off the shackles of orthodox biblical Christianity for a new way. Though this book is a fiction, it is making some very, very deliberate theological statements about God. For starters listen to Albert Mohler's radio broadcast on this book - and then check out Tim Challes' extensive, gracious but honest book review. -MH
