Book Description
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.

Book Description
As the West becomes more religiously diverse, Christians are aware of questions raised by proclaiming Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. Can objections to Christian exclusivity be answered, and how should Christians understand other religions and their followers? Their Rock is Not Like Our Rock presents a theology of other religions.

Book Description
Jesus: His Story in Stone is a reflection on still-existing stone objects that Jesus would have known, seen, or even touched. Each of the seventy short chapters is accompanied by a photograph taken on location in Israel. Arranged chronologically, the one-page meditations compose a portrait of Christ as seen through the significant stones in His life, from the cave where He was born to the rock of Calvary. While packed with historical and archaeological detail, the book’s main thrust is devotional, leading the reader both spiritually and physically closer to Jesus.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
These three works contained in this volume are rare. They are all that remain of his preaching and writing. His first sermon is on the "Rock of Israel," taken from the text in Deuteronomy 32:31, “For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being Judges.” He shows that the nations have rocks, but they are idols. And that the God of Israel is our solid Rock upon which we are placed by God in and through the work of Jesus Christ. He alone is our salvation. Staunton uses this text also as a hearty polemic against the Church of Rome and their idolatry. His second work is given as a funeral sermon for Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkinson, wife of Westminster Divine, Henry Wilkinson. His subject is taken from 1 Thessalonians 4:14, “Even so them also which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him.” He exhorts and encourages believers concerning the resurrection, and what it means to sleep in the Lord. There are also seven other parts to this section covering various eulogies and a narrative of her life, which includes her own testimony to saving grace. His third sermon is on righteous judgment. He combines Christian zeal with godly judgment taken from his text on Psalm 106:30, “Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.” This is a great encouragement to believers to keep steadfast on the path of true Reformation in their life, families and places in which they live. Included in this volume is an extended biography on the life of Staunton which is worth the reader’s time in and of itself. This is not a scan or facsimile, has been updated in modern English for easy reading and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
