Tim Keller on The Shack:
“At the heart of the book is a noble effort — to help modern people understand why God allows suffering, using a narrative form...
However, sprinkled throughout the book, Young’s story undermines a number of traditional Christian doctrines.
There is another modern text that sought to convey the character of God through story. It also tried to ’embody’ the Biblical doctrine of God in an imaginative way that conveyed the heart of the Biblical message. That story contained a Christ-figure named Aslan. Unlike the author of The Shack, however, C.S. Lewis was always at pains to maintain the Biblical tension between the divine love and his overwhelming holiness and splendor”
