Philippians: Living a Happy and Holy Life

Few books have aroused as much interest among Christians in as short a time as Paul Young’s The Shack. Using a dramatic plot-line, Young offers the reader a creative presentation of Christian theology in the form of an extended parable. In this lecture/Q&A-oriented class, we’ll look at this theology, examining its appeal, its grounding in classic Christian theology, and the reasons why some Christians find portions very troubling.
