I would have hoped that I would have got some feed back about this issue.
I am not so much talking about the book 'The Shack’; I am talking about the Trinity itself.

Do we as Reformed believers have a different understanding of the Trinity than non-Reformed believers?

I have tried to find out the answer to this question on more than just this particular board and so far I have not been able to find an answer. Yet this surprises me, since it is such an essential part of Christianity.

Just a little bit of back ground that might help, some of the people who are supporters of the book 'The Shack', say that only Reformed believers have a problem with the Trinity presented in 'The Shack'. This seems to be because most seem to favor the Eastern Orthodox understanding of the Trinity, than the Reformed understanding of the Trinity. They also mention names such a Barth as correct in his understanding of the Trinity.
Something else that might help is in the book The Shack, when God appears (I have a problem with the Trinity appearing to anyone, but that is another matter) to Matt (the main character) all three member of the Trinity appear with scars on their hands. This is something that Challies and Mohler key on as false Gospel.
A particular SBC theologian who critiques Challies on this, said that if all three members of the Trinity don't have scars on their hands, then it necessarily takes away from God's oneness and makes it "Tri-theism". (I have to admit that I don't understand his point)

Any thoughts on this issue might prove to be helpful.
