The task before us: Christians in a world of the religious Other -- Homo adorans: Reformed theological foundations for interpreting the religious Other -- The curious case of remnantal revelation: gleanings on the origins of the religious Other -- Towards a religio-genesis: Babel and the nations in the development of the religious Other -- No other gods before me: the idolatry of the religious Other in the Old Testament -- The perilous exchange: the idolatry of the religious Other in the New Testament -- "For their rock is not as our rock": the gospel as the 'subversive fulfilment' of the religious Other -- "A light for the Gentiles": missiological implication of 'subversive fulfilment' -- "But I have raised you up for this very purpose ... ": pastoral perspectives on the purpose of the religious Other. 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.
