Decoding Jesus: A Comparison between John Calvin and Ellen G. White's Views is exactly what it appears to be. Dr. PP Jones, Th.D writes an extensive analysis of these two historical theologians’ ideas and what they mean for today's collective society, religious and secular alike. While speculation and discussion regarding the Holy Trinity and the church's faith involved with the Conundrum represented by biblical teachings and the church's doctrine exist, rarely has this idea been explored so exhaustively. Jesus as a man and as a savior figure is a captivating image and idea to this day. Jones explores the fascination of the world with Jesus and why he remains so enthralling after two thousand years.
While theology isn't my typical leisure read, Decoding Jesus was certainly captivating. Having been raised Catholic, I understand many of the ideologies of the church and it was interesting to see the inference of White and Calvin throughout the book. This is certainly not a book for the casual reader as it is heavy on religious themes, analytical theology, and general understanding of Judeo-Christian concepts. Dr. PP Jones, Th.D is very proficient, but I admit that at times I got lost in the rather circular argument. However, overall I was very satisfied with my thoughtful journey through the Judeo-Christian faith and understanding of the fundamentals of religion. This book would serve well as a textbook used in higher educational settings or in seminary discussions. While the audience is targeted and limited, this book would serve those few very well.
