IF this author is saying the Father and the Spirit suffered the penalty for those whom Christ died, then his doctrine of the Trinity is heterodox at best and heretical at worst. Either way, it is contrary to historic biblical Christianity.

Since this book raises such questions, why would anyone bother with it?

As far as Mohler's and Challies' criticism of the book, I would personally trust their judgment over those who would accuse their assessment as inaccurate.

There are soooooo many sound, conservative and biblical writings available today, why spend one's limited time with this type of dribble?

My very thoughts exactly <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/applause.gif" alt="" /> -- especially the last paragraph. I do hope that no one (especially Tom) interpreted my words in defense of the historic, orthodox understanding of perichoresis or circumincession as an endorsement of what I imagine are the heterodox or heretical doctrines behind The Shack. I too would generally trust Al Mohler on a matter like this, especially since it's just not the type of book I'd ever make time to read myself.
