By James B. De Young
DIGITAL VERSION
Product Description
Millions have bought into the theology of Paul Young, whose book, "The Shack," portrays God as a loving black woman. Similar changes in appearance were given to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The story of pain and redemption then resonated with the public.
But is Young's worldview important? Is his theology that big a deal?
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 manages to shed important light on the implications of Young's pluralistic faith and provides readers with a gripping counterbalance to the popular little volume that's spent many weeks on the bestseller lists.
Exploring the nature and character of God from Scripture, De Young concludes that it is necessary to proceed carefully with "The Shack," lest important truths be skewed and even jettisoned. Without being confrontational, De Young makes the case that dangers can lurk under the foundation.
