Millions have bought into the theology of Paul Young, whose book, "The Shack," portraying God as a loving, black woman, who bore the scars of Jesus on Calvary. Similar changes in appearance were given to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The story of pain and redemption then resonated with the public. Do these heresies really matter in the eternal scheme of things?
James De Young thinks so. In fact, it's so important that he's written a compelling book challenge to 'The Shack'. In 'Burning Down The Shack', De Young delivers a chapter-by-chapter evaluation of more than 15 heresies within The Shack. Chief among the errors is what Young left out. 'A familiar, but deceptive maneuver is to give an aspect of a theological issue, while ignoring an equally important aspect that qualifies or limits the first one', De Young writes to explain Young's obvious exclusion of Satan and Hell, and even of forgiveness.
De Young decided to help readers uncover the embedded errors in The Shack and to show from scripture why they are so serious. 'How they strike a dagger into the heart of the gospel!' warns De Young.
