Infusing this innovative book are what the author calls “The Five Noble Truths”—core, interconnected ideas that make their presence felt at every stage of his thought: universal salvation, predeterminism, teleology, prophecy, and the apocalyptic view. Kyle Jones offers here a unique, eclectic, interdisciplinary perspective using the synergy of these “Five Noble Truths” to present a grounded orthodox (in its truest sense) view compatible with early Christian theology and addressing the vagaries of our modern thought-worlds, whether religious or non-religious. The book delves heavily into the issue of God’s sovereignty, dispelling “Christian dualism,” and arguing that a healthy and understood experience of pain and suffering only comes from embracing the pre-planned intentions of a sovereign God who will bring all of humanity to full reconciliation through Christ.
