Re: The Shack

Of primary importance is remembering it is a novel not a theological treatise on the godhead.

Closely following is the fact the author never attempted to portray God the Father as a female.

The clear language was that God's appearance as an elderly black female was solely because that was what would give the protagonist the most comfort at that time. If I recall He was actually portrayed as an elderly male by the end of the book.
