If you haven’t read the book, let me catch you up with a quick synopsis (beware: spoilers ahead). I just couldn’t find much in the book that I would consider heretical. It is a quite heartwarming and satisfying work of fiction.Īs a work of heresy, however, I was sorely disappointed. As a novel, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the story quickly pulled me in and kept me turning pages. I quickly devoured it keeping an eye out for any ‘heretical’ teachings. Some embraced the story as a creative depiction of how God works in our lives, while others dismissed it as “heresy”.Īll of the debate piqued my interest, so I was very excited when I received the book as a Christmas present. Everyone, it seemed, had a strong opinion to offer about the book. When the novel, The Shack, was released by author William Paul Young it created quite a controversy.
