A number of potentially devastating crises are converging upon planet earth early in the twenty-first century. All of these crises have significant prophetic implications and could have catastrophic consequences for human civilization. This is the warning presented by Jerry Duke in The Generation of Crisis. This is undoubtedly one of the most detailed accounts available concerning the converging political, environmental, and spiritual events which will distinguish the "last days." The catastrophic consequences which these crises could have on human civilization are chillingly presented and thoroughly substantiated with extensive documentation. What will be the effect of these crises on humanity? How are these events connected to bible prophecy? Could these crises mark the end of the age and point to the second coming of Christ? These questions are convincingly answered with frightening clarity. The evidence is so overwhelming that it is impossible to ignore. The Generation of Crisis is definitely a wakeup call for our generation. Jerry Duke has over forty years of combined experience in theological studies and specialized research.

The moral theology of Hans G. Ulrich is presented here in English for the first time. These collected essays represent the culmination of a lifetime of reflection on Christian living from this German theologian in conversation with Luther, Bonhoeffer, and contemporary philosophers and theologians. Ulrich's ethics affirm the lively presence of the living work of God in orienting the daily life of Christians. This presence enables members of the Church to live as creatures trusting in God's promises, bearing witness in political and economic spheres, and trusting in life as a gift in response to bioethical issues. Ulrich's fresh take on living out of the promise of God yields further guidance on issues in international relations, economics, parenting, disability, and more.

Reform Judaism has been tested by the spiritual torments and ideological upheavals of the last two centuries. Now, "Reform Judaism for the Rest of Us" brings into discussion key tenets and opinions that shape current thinking within the faith and introduces ideas for its future development. Author Alexander Maller believes that the core message of Reform Judaism, a modern faith inspired by the Jewish heritage and the Jewish and American Enlightenment, is entering a new phase in its history.

Free from the defunct extremist ideologies of the last centuries, American Reform Judaism can expand its reach into the new millennium if it strengthens its grassroots appeal to be of, by, and for the Reform congregants. It must also have a strong Jewish divine faith orientation, be open-minded to the realities of modern living, bear a deep love of Zion, and uphold a strong defense of the Constitution.

The arguments brought forth in this study stem from the author's position as a lay congregant. They also arise from the fact that he is a participant in and an observer of the continuous dialogue between rank-and-file congregants and clergy, as well as among congregations and various denominations of faith. "Reform Judaism for the Rest of Us" encourages congregants to adopt a sustainable, modern, deity-based orientation inspired by Jewish heritage and the American spirit.
