As for specific objections, I'd have to hear more to be able to comment (and I might do that with reluctance). Sometimes I wonder if Jesus' parables could stand up to such theological scrutiny (!)...let's remember: The Shack is a story, after all, and not Holy Scripture.<BR/><BR/>Ideally (and for me personally), The Shack reframes some biblical truths from a fresh vantage point--primarily for meditation and prayer. It's not meant to teach theology, I don't think. But fruitful discussion that moves into theology can certainly result.<BR/><BR/>What do you others think?<BR/>CarlCarl Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086233371029204266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26519755.post-43598345906722485922008-08-14T19:55:00.000-06:002008-08-14T19:55:00.000-06:00There have been several criticisms of The Shack b...There have been several criticisms of The Shack by some prominent pastors (Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill for one). Do you see any theological points that are incorrect? That would lead us astray?<BR/><BR/>I personally loved the book as it helped me with the problem of pain in this life, and how it portrays our relationship with God.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Brad Whitneybradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032162136919278620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26519755.post-71190804853036152692008-08-08T09:18:00.000-06:002008-08-08T09:18:00.000-06:00Thanks for visiting again, Mike.
