Now Papa (the large African American woman), explains to Mack why she/he had to be revealed as a woman, “Hasn’t it always been a problem for you to embrace me as your father? And after what you’ve been through, you couldn’t very well handle a father right now, could you?” (p. 93) Mack asks, “why is there such an emphasis on you being a Father? I mean, it seems to be the way you most reveal yourself”(p. 94). Mack had a bad dad, but what Mack really needed was a true understanding of God the Father, not a reimaging of God that distorts his revealed character.
The sermon preached by Eric Schumacher is the antidote that Mack needed for his poor image and understanding of fatherhood.
