Review of “The Shack”
In the end, The Shack is spiritual comfort food loaded with theological trans fat. Though not without some nutritional value, its effect on the body of Christ is more harmful than healthy. Even if you love it, and even if it makes you cry. Junk food and bad movies can do the same.

For anyone researching The Shack, from the comments below, Orycteropus Afer says:
The review of The Shack at Luther Library focuses on Willie’s heretical confession of the Trinity and positing this major error as the wellspring of subsequent “minor” theological mistakes.
I recommend reading that review of The Shack.
And, Todd Wilken of Issues, Etc., recently did a good audio review of The Shack. The audio is 40 minutes and you can download it at iTunes or listen to the stream below.

From the page: “Is our theology sufficiently biblical to understand statements where God not only hates the sin, but also is said to hate the sinner (see, for example, Ps. 11:5-6)?” …an interesting post… it will make you think.
