The Shack in Review

The Shack movie comes out today at the theaters.  Of course most of the theological critiques of this movie are about its fairly loose and controversial portrayals of God.  But granting some artistic license some evangelicals have found a lot of truth in the book and tell viewers to just focus on the main themes of how God is close to us in our suffering.  

David Mathis writes a very thoughful article here about how even the main theme of God in our suffering actually has huge theological distortions for Christian viewers to be aware of, just the same.
