Over the last couple months, the latest fad in fiction among American evangelicals has been William Young’s recent novel The Shack. There has been quite a bit of discussion that has resulted from the supposedly dubious theology that the book espouses. As always seems to be the case, the discussions (to a certain extent, anyway) seem to be between people who have read the book, like it, and are inclined to overlook the theological imprecision, as we’ll charitably call it, and those who haven’t read the book but have heard that it is bad.
