The Doctrine of Humanity
Debates over race, gender, ethnicity, culture, social status, life-style, and sexual preference cloud our notions of universal "human nature" or "human condition." Charles Sherlock offers a timely and engaging look at what it means to be human—created in the image of God and re-created in the image of Christ.
Sherlock Holmes: Charles Augustus Milverton
“Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes,” he said, turning the front of his coat and exhibiting the butt of a large revolver, which projected from the inside pocket. “I have been expecting you to do something original. This has been done so often, and what good has ever come from it? I assure you that I am armed to the teeth, and I am perfectly prepared to use my weapons, knowing that the law will support me. Besides, your supposition that I would bring the letters here in a note-book is entirely mistaken. I would do nothing so foolish. And now, gentlemen, I have one or two little interviews this evening, and it is a long drive to Hampstead.” He stepped forward, took up his coat, laid his hand on hi...
God on the Inside
Aimed at the non-specialist reader, this volume combines biblical thought, Church history and contemporary theology to present an account of how to understand and describe God today from the perspective of evangelical Christianity. Blends issues of doctrine and spirituality, and examines issues such as feminism and images of God as TFather'. Author teaches theology and liturgy at Ridley College, Melbourne, and is a minister in an inner-suburban Anglican church.
Watson on the Orient Express
London, 1898. Watson overhears an assassination plot that not only endangers the life of Sherlock Holmes, but threatens to ignite a war in Constantinople. He escapes, and boards the Orient Express. Holmes and Lucy follow, but soon all three become targets. Will they stop the assassination? Or will all their heroics be too little, too late?
Words and the Word
"Christians confess faith in Jesus Christ, the living Word of God 'according to the scriptures' - the Word of God written. Yet sharp differences today over how these scriptures are used are dividing churches, not least across the Anglican communion. Words and the Word speaks to this situation through four 'case studies'. The first explores what the scriptures are physically - words, communicated via material artefacts, changing over time from scrolls to smartphones. How do these changes affect our 'reading' the scriptures? The other case studies focus on topics in current debate. How do the scriptures use war-words and male and female terms for God? What does the biblical motif of blood mean today, whether in the human experiences of menstruation and circumcision, or in relation to sacrifice and atonement? How do the scriptures speak of God's 'no' and 'yes', and how does this shape our discerning of what is ultimately true, right and good? Words and the Word takes readers through a range of biblical texts, exploring them with a strong grounding in awareness of context, pastoral experience and scholarly work." -- back cover.

The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton Sherlock Holmes
It is years since the incidents of which I speak took place, and yet it is with diffidence that I allude to them. For a long time, even with the utmost discretion and reticence, it would have been impossible to make the facts public, but now the principal person concerned is beyond the reach of human law, and with due suppression the story may be told in such fashion as to injure no one. It records an absolutely unique experience in the career both of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and of myself. The reader will excuse me if I conceal the date or any other fact by which he might trace the actual occurrence.
