The Shack: A
Journey from Pain to Truth to Error, offers a new kind of critique of the
novel and movie, The Shack, and it is
being distributed by multiple distributors in multiple formats.
While
the many Reformed and Arminian critiques are worth reading, this book offers a confessional Lutheran critique that focuses
on the chief article of faith upon which the church stands or falls. The chief
article is justification and the redemption we have in Jesus.
Looking
for healing for his Great Sadness, the author of The Shack missed the consolation provided by Christian faith and
ministry. Instead, he hit upon a particular strain of thought from the
renaissance of Trinitarian theology that happened worldwide in the 1980s and
1990s. This theology has much to be commended. Tragically, however, it departs
from the teaching of Scripture about the atoning sacrifice of Jesus for us on
the cross. It denies the wrath of God on sin, and denies that Jesus bore that
wrath for us. The Shack teaches a different theory of the cross that springs
from perichoretic speculations about the Trinity.
The Shack: A
Journey from Pain to Truth to Error is available in free eReader or PDF editions on Barnes & Noble, Kobo,
