Religion and Ethics Today: God's World and Human Responsibilities,
Volume 2 examines the major systems of ethics and principles of
normative moral judgement in Western ethics, including religious,
environmental, biomedical, and cultural moral values, from an
evolutionist approach. The book is organized into four parts: the
problems of evil and yet, the affirmation of the reality of
existence of a loving, powerful God; the ethics of Jesus and God's
incarnation of love; the evolutionary moral agents of God's
kingdom; and critical moral and ethical theories, which evaluates
virtue ethics, biomedical ethics, and environmental and applied
utilitarian ethics. Specific topics explored throughout the text
include the concept of evil as it relates to both Christianity and
Judaism, Karl Marx's theory of inequality, Dr. Martin Luther King's
dream of a beloved community, Buddha and the law of karma, and
more. Written for intellectually inquiring students and educators,
and designed to be used with the first volume of the same name,
Religion and Ethics Today is well-suited for introductory religious
survey courses, classes on comparative religion, and any course
that addresses theology, ethics, or the philosophy of religion.
Religion, Politics and Cults in East Africa is the first major,
original, and extensive research-based study of the apocalyptic and
doomsday Catholic Marian Movement and its Benedictine monastic
moral and religious practices, including vows of poverty, celibacy,
obedience, daily contemplation in silence, and hard work. The
Marian Movement is presented within the cultural, historical,
political, and religious context of the East African Revival
Movement, the Anglican Balokole Movement, Alice Lakwena's Holy
Spirit Movement, Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), and
other religio-political liberation movements, including the Maji
Maji, the Mau Mau, and Nyabingi Liberation Movement. The Marian
Movement was locally known as "Abanyabugoto" and "The Movement for
the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God". It began in 1989
as a Catholic women's Marian devotional and moral reformation
movement, founded and headed by Keledonia Mwerinde. Faced with
African cultural patriarchy and male-dominated Catholic Church
hierarchy, Mwerinde recruited Joseph Kibwetere and the Rev. Fr.
Dominic Kataribabo to serve as the public face of the Marian
Movement. In response to Catholic hierarchy's opposition and
persecution, Fr. Kataribabo designed a theology of ritual
sacrifice, atonement, and martyrdoms for the devout Marian
Catholics, who were devotees of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He
martyred the Marian devotees in March 2000, in order to transform
them into Mary's saints, and to liberate their souls and send them
to heaven, where they would instantly attain eternal life, lasting
peace, and happiness.

In Religion & Ethics for a New Age, the problems of traditional
Christian dogmas of evil, death, the fall, violence, sexuality,
patriarchal theological language and symbols are discussed within a
global evolutionary context, as well as that of the existential
reality of cultural, moral and religious pluralism. Agape as the
central commandment of Christ is adopted as the new universal
grounding for true global Christian ethics, sound religion, humane,
moral and cultural values. God's supernatural activities of
creation and redemption are presented as coextensive with
evolutionary history and life in the world as God's unfolding
kingdom.
