The Shack

I found reading the book rather heavy going and not because of the heavy theological content. I’ve read Paul Tillich and Viktor Frankl. Guess I prefer my theological arguments straight up rather than in allegorical or fantasy formats. The chief protagonist in this piece is dealing with the abduction/murder of his youngest daughter and is invited to spend a weekend with God in three persons in a remote shack. A great deal of liberal theology gets covered here. If you don’t mind the format then this is a great book. To me a 300-page parable was rather too much of a good thing.
