Thank you Quix, I wondered about The Shack. Will look into it now.

It is likely to jangle anyone who

. . . construes reality . . . God . . . . . theology . . . Scripture

IN THEIR PERSONALLY UNIQUE TIDY LITTLE BOXES

AS = ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

However, I did not find it UnBiblical. The author lays aside some critical Biblical issues with a single sentence here and there in order to focus on emphasizing God’s Love etc. etc. etc.

Given God’s priority on His Love . . . I can allow quite a few literary tools in such an effort.

I probably would have written such a book differently. Probably THE SHACK is better as it is.

But then, I always had a fondness for Aunt Jemima.
