What Race Is God? Black Or White Debate Fueled By Christian Story 'The Shack' After Book And Ahead Of New Movie Release

The Bible tells Christians very little about God, including the deity's age, skin color or gender. But that hasn't stopped Christian leaders from protesting a new movie that portrays God as a black woman. "The Shack" stars Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer and is based on the bestseller by William P. Young. In the movie, Worthington is grappling with a horrible family tragedy, while Spencer, a black woman, portrays the Christian God who comforts him.
