I just read Colson’s critique.
I think he’s off base by a huge margin.
I found his attitude . . . well . . . not to match my experience of THE SHACK
and . . . sadly, uncharacteristically for him . . .
PRISSY.
God is Holy.
God is NOT PRISSY.
I found the GOD OF SCRIPTURE vividly in THE SHACK.
Colson’s rant about a low view of Scripture in the Shack is simply not true.

FROM the first link:
But Stackhouse also criticized The Shack. Most of his complaints had to do with the novel's denunciations of "institutional" Christianity, as well as seminaries, ritual and hierarchy.
Ahhhhhhhhhh . . .
ritual and hierarchy . . . and here I thought you represented folks vigorously hostile to RC ritual and hierarchy. Guess I really have misunderstood you a LOT!
