I loved The Shack...it wasn’t written as a theology book, it’s a novel. And as a novel, it is one of the most riveting and emotion evoking novels I’ve ever read.
No one takes a microscope to the theology of the Chronicles of Narnia, or the LOTR books. Les Miserables, in my opinion, is the most encompassing
story of law and grace I’ve ever read...but we don’t examine the minutia of
the story to see if Hugo was theologically sound. They are, what they are,
books, and none of these authors have ever written their books with the
thought of passing muster for it’s theology.
I won’t see the movie, at least not at the theater. I would be a blubbering
mess if I had to see the depiction of Mack’s grief, and eventual healing.
None of the examples you provided portrayed God as being a women.
