Events in Washington over the past year alone make it difficult for thinking Christians to deny that there is a crisis of truth in our nation. Character has become unimportant. Personality has taken its place. How can the people of God resist being swept under by the mounting waves of relativism?

Unriddling Our Times: Reflections on the Gathering Cultural Crisis, edited by Os Guinness, reaches to the heart of the problem by presenting short selections that illustrate the need to listen to the voices of prophets who warn of our impending moral drowning.

An excerpt from a German novel portrays a brave sixteenth-century Spanish monk who challenges his king.

An intimate portrait of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn shows how he became a twentieth-century apostle of truth.

A chilling 1948 short story and contemporary reflections on it point vividly to the danger of amorality facing our nation.

Anyone concerned about the erosion of truth in our culture will find insight and courage from these prophetic voices from the past.
