Wait just a minute. How in the world did we get to the place where we are? The sun has set on the British Empire and the grand experiment of America has blown up in the laboratory.
We can ask about the grisly impact of two world wars on Western civilization. We can look to the impact of the Holocaust, where the battle-hardened commander of the Allies, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, wept when he beheld the ghost-like, emaciated survivors of Hitler’s death camps and the Final Solution to the “Jewish problem.” We can read our resultant culture through the lens of Nietzsche’s nihilism or Jean Paul Sartre’s assessment ...

About The Other Worldview: Exposing Christianity’s Greatest ThreatA cataclysmic change has occurred over the past few decades. Our culture as a whole has switched worldviews. According to Peter Jones, all the religions and philosophies of the world can be divided into two basic worldviews. These two perspectives differ on the fundamental nature of reality. Is everything essentially one? Or does an irreducible distinction exist between creation and Creator? In The Other Worldview, Jones explains the difference between what he calls “Oneism” and “Twoism.” He exposes the pagan roots of Oneism, and he traces its spread and influence throughout Western culture. Most importantly, he shows us why Oneism is incapable of saving anyone or truly changing the world for the better. “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.” |
