This is the third and final part of my interview with William P Young, author of the Shack. This post begins with a good discussion of the Gospel and the resurrection of Jesus… does it really matter if jesus raised from the dead? What Paul Young has to say will surprise some people.
Let me know what you think of this interview and what other folks you would like to hear me interview.
This is part two of my interview with William P Young, author of the Shack. Part one finish with Paul’s positive impressions of Postmodernism, and part two continues the discussion of Postmodernism and its negative influence on Christianity.
Please pass this along to your friends. Part three will be posted tomorrow.
Selling more than 7 million copies and spending 49 weeks on the NY Times best seller list, The Shack has been a stellar success for William (Paul) Young.

The following is the 1st part of 3 ten minute clips that reflect the bulk of my phone conversation with Paul.
