So, here we are, deep within our Theodicy discussion.
It seems like you would have to travel into the desert and live in a cave to escape The Shack these days. I must admit that I've read it, and loved it. I think that the spirit of the book is intact. As for the theology of theodicy? I'm not sure.
That isn't to say that I disagree. On the contrary. I agree in almost every way. I often found myself thinking, "God, surely things MUST be this way." The book is engaging, and it keeps the reader on track. How good does it do at truly relaying a Theodicy?....hmmm...let's ask some more experts.
I wanted to point us in the direction of some critical, current theology discussion on the subject.
One of our very own Theologians, BW3 (or, Ben Witherington, as he is known to the masses) has recently posted his review of The Shack, and people all over the interweb are rejoicing at his glowing review that is also tempered with a realistic theological view.
