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.

The Bible's worldview is quite distinct from the rest of the ancient East, and the contemporary West's entanglement with Eastern spirituality arises out of its rejection of the biblical paradigm. Atheistic secularism is under pressure from the innate human need for the spiritual--and this provides the opportunity for myriad spiritualities that justify any and every promiscuity under the guise of being non-judgmental. Peter is absolutely right in his trenchant criticism of the desire to reconcile opposites and thus to obscure the difference between good and evil, right and wrong--even, perhaps especially, when this is done in the name of science.
Today, we need both a critique of the unexamined assumptions of Western culture and a competent apologetic for the Christian analysis of the human condition in a universe continually dependent on its Creator, who cannot simply be identified with it. We are in Peter's debt for providing such a critique and apologetic in this book.
