I liked the Trinitarian images; I thought the story was ludicrous, predictable, pretentious and unecessarily schmaltzy. However, it does not pretend to be deeply theological; it freely admits it is a story- and to be honest I have read worse!! <br />I read it because it was given to me by a good friend who had absolutely loved it.

The opinions above by both of you were shared by both of us - neither found it a life-changing book, and found it profoundly irritating - especially in its depiction of the Trinity. Modalism was mentioned too. However, we did wonder if it would have a different effect on those who saw God as a vengeful and rule-book crabbit besomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608294034243508676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4401700189847333654.post-29283150249139348692010-06-01T22:18:55.337+01:002010-06-01T22:18:55.337+01:00I hated it! for all the reasons given above.

It triggered a few theological warning sensors with me as well - universalist for the wrong reasons (iirc) and the modalism amongst others.<br />What it did do though, and this, I think, is its value, is that it seriously challenged a lot of the JohnOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211044826530140430noreply@blogger.com
