(Full review at SpoiledMilks, 6/19/16)
Doesn�t the poem about� the blind men and the elephant� teach us that everyone is right because no one knows what the elephant truly is? Can Christians rightly claim that not only does the elephant speak, but that we� truly know� the Elephant? Daniel Strange has written a hefty theology of religions for the Christian church, especially for Reformed Christians.
Strangeââ?¬â?¢s theology of religions is this: Biblical revelation is authoritative, and non-Christian religions are sovereignly directed, collective human idolatrous responses to divine revelation behind which stand deceiving demonic forces. They are antithetic to and parasitically dependent upon the truth of the Christian worldview. They are ââ?¬Ë?subversively fulfilledââ?¬â?¢ in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Made in the image of God, mankind is made to worship, but after the fall mankind follows a ââ?¬Å"false faith,ââ?¬Â? thinking they are independent from God. Instead they ââ?¬Å"are just as dependent as they ever were, but will not accept itââ?¬Â? (93).Ã? Chapter 3Ã? explains the commonalities between religious traditions. Ch 4-6 survey how religions developed after the Tower of Babel and the idolatry that followed in the Bible.Ã? Ch 7Ã? shows how the gospel subverts other religions and and fulfills them.Ã? Chs 8-9 give implications for missions and a pastoral perspective. Might these other religions be a test to the churchââ?¬â?¢s faithfulness?
There is a massive amount of (good) block quotes, however they often broke up Strange�s argument making it difficult to follow. Strange�s writing style is long and dense.
Recommended?
At 338 pages, Strange�s book is large, dense, and it will require time to read and chew on the big concepts he writes about. Though tough, this book deserves time to work through it. You will have a better understanding of the religions around you and will understand how they point to the Christian gospel.
