Riassunto

"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."

Recensione

This is a key book for understanding the profound worldview shift in all the West (not just North America, but Latin America included). Peter Jones carefully analyzes its religious underpinnings and, in light of the Scriptures, demonstrates that there are only two choices. I highly recommend this work as the mature reflections of a scholar who has dedicated the last 20 years to this topic.
--Rev. Bill Green, Executive Secretary, Confraternidad Latinoamericana de Iglesias Reformadas (CLIR), Costa Rica

I have worked as a legal campaigner in Great Britain for two decades and witnessed the devastation of a politico-legal system that embraces Oneism and denies Twoism. There is a suppression of Christianity in the public sphere, robbing our nation of what is good for all. Peter Jones brilliantly explains how and why we are in such chaos, equipping us to speak and act relevantly in a culture steeped in old paganism.
--Andrea Williams, Chief Executive, Christian Concern and Christian Legal Centre, London, England

Dr. Peter Jones' new book is spot on! His historical, theological, and cultural analysis is of the highest caliber, inspiring both great concern for the Church of the 21st century and great hope. The Other Worldview is a must read for all Christian leaders who recognize and proclaim that God is the creator and we are his creation!
--The Rt. Rev. Dr. Eric Vawter Menees, Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin, Fresno, California

My good friend Peter Jones argues that the ills of modern culture stem from its denial of the biblical creator-creature distinction. Peter has made this case before, but here he presents his most substantial, detailed, and illuminating account of this modern consciousness, from ancient paganism and Gnosticism to such modern thinkers as Carl Jung. In the end Peter shows how the biblical gospel of salvation from sin in Christ provides the only adequate challenge to neo-pagan "Oneism," and the only way for us to know God as he really is.
-- --Dr. John M. Frame, J. D. Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida
For over two decades, Peter Jones's work has proven indispensable for any Christian who wants to understand how to reach the pagan West with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In The Other Worldview, he helps readers see that there really are only two options available for how we view reality: Christianity and everything else. With the rare and enviable gift of being able to make complex ideas accessible, Dr. Jones shows that the other worldview, in its varied expressions, cannot withstand intellectual scrutiny.
--Rev. Dr. Gabriel N.E. Fluhrer, Senior Minister, Shiloh Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Raleigh, North Carolina

The velocity and intensity of the cultural death spiral is overwhelming, yet its inevitable trajectory is affirmed in Scripture. In The Other Worldview, Peter Jones, with careful Biblical analysis, unfolds the inevitable embrace of paganism and its assured dissipation--unless arrested by a God-exalting, Gospel proclamation of both common grace and redeeming grace displayed in word and deed.
-- --Harry L. Reeder, Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama
