  • THE SHACK” by Mike Powell 11/08
    A CRITIQUE OF “THE SHACK” By Mike Powell 11/08 William Young’s book, The Shack , has sold over one million copies since it was published in May 2007. It has maintained its status as the No. 1 Paperback trade fiction seller on the New York Times best sellers list since June 2008. There are rumors that it is being considered for a movie. Many people are claiming that The Shack has changed their lives and understanding of God. Yet many respected theologians and pastors are deeply concerned. Dr. Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Seminary says, “This book includes undiluted heresy.” Even Mark Driscoll, the sometimes controversial pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle says, “Regarding the Trinity, it’s actually heretical.” Though The Shack is fiction, it is clearly designed to impact how the reader thinks about God, scripture, the church, and salvation. It is not a book that was written to only share a story. It was written to communicate a theology through the dialogue of its characters. Due to the popularity, influence, and controversy that this book has generated, I have decided to write this review. The following are some of the concerns I have about the book. The Shack Teaches A Faulty View Of God. The Bible warns us to not to misrepresent God. The second commandment reads, "You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth ( Exodus 20:4). I am afraid that Young has violated this commandment by representing God very differently than He presents Himself in the Bible.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Human Life
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Human life changes everyday to be more developed and smarter at certain time. Knowledge used by human to express their idea and their thought. There are many ways to human enrich their knownledge. Two of them are writing and reading works of literature. In nowdays talking about work of literature are related to poem, novel and drama. Literary work helps human to grow their personality and intellectuality. Wallek and Waren (1959:96) state that literature looks like a real life potrait. It is an illustration of human lives because literary works present the reality of human condition, problems, feelings, and relationship. So human can find many lesson, experience, stories, or anything that enrich their knowledge. Literature is imaginative and creative writing which has some certain qualities, and represents human experience in social reality (Wellek & Warren, 1959:94). Literary works are part of literature, which is very interesting to read because it give reader a pleasure. Literary works also give a deep knowledge about dreams, human life, some lesson of life and real social condition that happen in society. The reader of literary work may learn about what kind of human behavior and value exist in the certain society in real life. According to Wellek & Warren (1959: 102), literary work can play a role as a historical document that recorded social realities, which are artistically portrayed by the author. Wallek & Warren stated that literature must stand in reconizable relation to life in such way in every case selection from life. It means that literature must indeed be true for life.

Outbound Ripples After Words Acknowledgements The Missy Project F OREWORD Who wouldn’t be skeptical when a man claims to have spent an entire weekend with God, in a shack no less? And this was the shack. I have known Mack for a bit more than twenty years, since the day we both showed up at a neighbor’s house to help him bale a field of hay to put up for his couple of cows. Since then he and I have been, as the kids say these days, hangin’ out, sharing a coffee— or for me a chai tea, extra hot with soy. Our conversations bring a deep sort of pleasure, always sprinkled with lots of laughs and once in a while a tear or two. Frankly, the older we get, the more we hang out, if you know what I mean. His full name is Mackenzie Allen Phillips, although most people call him Allen.

  • Journal of Research on Women and Gender
    Journal of Research on Women and Gender Volume 4 – March - 2012 Christianity’s Collusion with Whiteness: Divine Embodiment in The Shack Elizabeth Lemons, Ohio State University William P. Young, an “ordinary” Christian father of six, was working as a janitor and salesperson for a small company in Oregon when he created quite a splash in the Evangelical community by publishing The Shack in 2007 (WindRumors). The Shack is the story of a man who finds spiritual healing and forgiveness by spending a weekend in the woods with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, all of whom are embodied as people of color. The Shack topped the New York Times trade paperback fiction best-seller list about a year after its publication, and it has sold over ten million copies (Rich, Lodde). Readers have gushed that the story is life- changing and faith-renewing, while many Evangelical leaders criticize the book for theological errors, going so far as to call the story heretical (Challies, Rich). On the surface, The Shack seems to be liberatory and ant-racist, but a feminist reading proves it to be otherwise. In this article, I will demonstrate that while both Young and his critics explore and evaluate the raced and gendered embodiment of the Christian God in The Shack, they share a deeply problematic religious history of race relations. Using feminist scholarship, critical whiteness theory, and an analysis of Evangelicalism’s troubled history of race, I will show that the structures of whiteness are fundamental for American Evangelicalism’s culture and theology. Born in Canada, William P.
