The Shack -- Again

Tim Challies has a comprehensive review of the best seller, The Shack. Sometime ago I posted a video review by Mark Driscol, now here is a link to Tim's review. Tim takes a thorough and careful look at the book's teaching on revelation, redemption and the Trinity. All who have read (or plan to read) this book owe it to themselves to read Tim's insightful commentary.

John: You might be interested in this review, too.

I found it particularly insightful. Other reviews focus on the doctrinal errors, which is good, but this is the only review I've seen that helped me understand why this book has become so popular.

I received the Shack as a gift, and, rather grudgingly agreed, in a dare, to read it. I put it down after page 3 because of very strange syntax and poor turns of phrase. The Shack is shabby English. Now I'm even more glad I didn't read it. But since when do "evangelicals" care about theology?
