"COVID-19 has transformed our everyday lives. It's as if another
world has arrived in the blink of an eye. Yet life is not on pause.
We still need to live. The pandemic, like any other time, is a
moment both of opportunity as well as challenge. Healthy Faith in
the Coronavirus Crisis is a briefing on how to thrive in a world of
restrictions. Twenty leading Christian thinkers have come together
to help you begin to navigate this strange reality. Each
contributor writes on their area of expertise, and topics covered
include prayer, loneliness, work, singleness, marriage, parenting,
grief, death, imagination, conversations, humour, and much more.
They offer practical advice as well as helpful perspective from
Scripture. This is an essential resource for anyone looking to
cultivate a healthy faith which infuses all areas of life during
this disorienting time.
The reality of our post-Christendom, post-colonial, post-Holocaust,
post-9/11, multi-ethnic and multicultural context has meant that,
more than ever, Christians are acutely aware of the questions posed
not simply by the existence of other religions, but also by their
apparent flourishing. If secularization is still alive and well,
then, seemingly, so too is society's sacralization. Hence, the
theology of religions is arguably the issue for mission in the
twenty-first century. However, there has been little evangelical
theology that offers a detailed, comprehensive and biblically
faithful analysis that deals with not only the question of
salvation but also questions of truth, the nature and history of
human religiosity, and a host of practical issues pertaining to
apologetics and contextualization. In this ambitious
interdisciplinary study, which synthesizes close exegesis, biblical
theology, systematics and insights from the social sciences, Daniel
Strange examines the origins, development and idolatry of the
'religious Other', and explores how the gospel of Jesus Christ is
its 'subversive fulfilment'. He concludes with a missiological
postscript and some pastoral perspectives on the purpose of other
religions in God's providence.
The reality of the West's post-Christendom, multiethnic,
multicultural context has meant that, more than ever, Christians
face questions posed not simply by the existence of other
religions, but also by their apparent flourishing. If
secularization is alive and well, then so too is society's
sacralization. Hence, a theology of religions is arguably the most
significant concern confronting Christian mission and apologetics
in the twenty-first century. There has been little evangelical
theology offering a detailed, comprehensive, and biblically
faithful analysis not only of the question of salvation but also
questions of truth, the nature and history of human religiosity,
and a host of other issues pertaining to Christian apologetics and
contextualization amid religious pluralism. In Their Rock is Not
Like Our Rock, lecturer and vice principal of Oak Hill College in
London, Daniel Strange, explores these issues and offers the
beginning of a theology of other religions.
Even if you don't go to the city to minister, make no mistake-the
city is coming to you. Regardless of your particular cultural or
geographical context, you will need to consider the city when
forming a theological vision that engages the people you are trying
to reach. In Loving the City, bestselling author and pastor Timothy
Keller looks at the biblical foundations for contextualizing the
gospel as we communicate to the culture in a way that is both
respectful and challenging. He articulates the key characteristics
of a city vision, showing how the city develops as a theme
throughout Scripture, from its anti-God origins, to its strategic
importance for mission, to its culmination and redemption in glory.
Finally, he examines the need for thoughtful cultural engagement,
unpacking four models for engaging culture, showing the strengths
and weaknesses of each approach and emphasizing a blended approach
that balances the key insights of each. Loving the City will help
you to minister to your cultural context in a way that is
biblically faithful and fruitful. This new edition contains the
second section of Center Church in an easy-to-read format with new
reflections and additional essays from Timothy Keller and several
other contributors.

This book presents three different, influential and representative
theological approaches towards the world religions. Students are
not only introduced to the field, but get three passionate and
intelligent 'takes' on what is at stake. By means of a response to
each of the primary essays, the authors are put into interaction
with each other, and are also engaged with the most contemporary
scholarship in the field of theology of religions. This sustained
and high level critical interaction between the authors provides a
feature that is not to be found in any other current work in
theology of religions. The three views represent: conservative
Roman Catholic Christianity (D'Costa), Reformed evangelical
Christianity (Strange) and liberationist liberal Christianity
(Knitter). This book will therefore appeal to a very wide
theological market from all sections of the theological spectrum.
Let's face some uncomfortable facts: many Christians can struggle
with exactly the same issues about the Bible as their non-Christian
friends. Is God in control? Can he be trusted? Is he moral? Does he
care and can he speak into my life and my struggles? Daniel Strange
and Michael Ovey set out how we can we place our complete trust in
Scripture, challenging both Christian's and those outside the
church.
For theology, religion and philosophy students. Would you like an
evangelical overview of the influence of theological figures
including Moltmann, Hick and Cupitt? After reading you'll have a
clearer understanding of the works of such thinkers as Hick and
Cupitt from an evangelic perspective. Getting Your Bearing' is a
book in which students of theology, religion and philosophy soon
encounter challenging and influential figures such as Moltmann,
Pannenberg, Hick, Cupitt and Milbank. These essays offer keys for
understanding and engaging with such thinkers from an evangelical
perspective.
