William Paul Young’s best selling book The Shack has provided comfort to millions of people all over the world. But not everyone likes it. Especially the pastor of Mars Hill – Mark Driscoll watch

I found this on Bob Hyatt's Blog blog. The author of wildly popular book, "The Shack" calls Mark Driscoll to meet him publicly to dialogue (to "man up") about his assertions of heresy. Paul Young would like to have him do it to his face. He says in the blog that he has a few questions for Driscoll as well. Interesting! Do you think Driscoll will or should show for the public dialogue or is he is a simply a "pulpit bully."
The bigger questions for me are: Is this the best way to resolve this sort of public castigation? Is it a power (or camera) grab by Young (and Jim Henderson)? Can a person make very public "heresy" assertions (a very serious contention) without any accountability or push back? Is there a better way to both challenge aberrant positions (aside from what you think about Young's book) or to defend ones self against others siloed allegations? Not to come off "hyper-spiritual (as if I could do that)," but what is the Jesus way?
Let me know what you think?
