On the Origins of Yoga

In order to understand the spiritual times in which we live, we must have a solid grounding in our understanding of the cosmology of universal One-ism, which ultimately denies the value of the individual and leads to a kind of annihilation beyond the mind, and biblical Two-ism, which affirms the distinction between God and creation and affirms the infinite worth and value of individuals created in the image of God and of their minds, which are gloriously renewed and transformed through the growing knowledge of His Word.

Faith in experience and social action becomes the "new" Christianity. But the New Testament is full of creeds, statements of truth based on which Christians are called to belief and action.
