The Other Worldview - by Peter Jones (Paperback)

About the Book

Jones shows that every religion and philosophy fits into one of two basic worldviews. "Oneism" asserts that everything is essentially one, while "Twoism" affirms an irreducible distinction between creation and Creator. He exposes the pagan roots of Oneism, traces its spread throughout Western culture, and demonstrates its inability to save anyone or truly change the world for the better.

From the Back Cover

"A must-read for every concerned American--and especially for every Christian who weeps at the graveside of his culture." --R.C. Sproul A cataclysmic change has occurred as our culture has shifted toward belief in "Oneism." Every religion and philosophy fits into one of two basic worldviews: "Oneism" asserts that everything is essentially one, while "Twoism" affirms an irreducible distinction between creation and Creator. The Other Worldview exposes the pagan roots of Oneism, traces its spread throughout Western culture, and demonstrates its inability to save. "For bodily holiness and transformed thinking . . . we depend entirely on one amazing thing: the incredibly powerful message of the Gospel to a sinful world, which is the ultimate expression and goal of Twoism. The only hope is in Christ alone."

Review Quotes

If the 21st century is looking more and more like the gnostic world of the first two centuries, we should be grateful that God has also provided another Irenaeus to go with it. Peter Jones has for decades been a prophetic voice, and here he puts his wealth of wisdom and insight into something of a magnum opus, an Against Heresies for our time--although he would rightly insist on the singular, "heresy," instead of its plural. The Other Worldview is a must-read that brilliantly explains why.
