Práce je kritickým pohledem na důsledky filozofie „relativismu“ a na kulturu rozkládající pojem pravdy. Proč někteří lidé věří, že relativismus je správný? Především je to proto, že existuje tolik rozdílných vyznání a názorů. Proto se často setkáváme s otázkou, zda není skutečně netolerantní myslet si, že jeden člověk či skupina lidí má pravdu, zatímco ostatní se mýlí. Autor zkoumá tato tvrzení a hledá odpovědi na následující otázky: * Jsou tvrzení relativismu dostatečně konzistentní? * Existuje objektivní realita? * Je logika konstantní a nebo je libovolně proměnná? * Je skutečně nutné dělat si úsudky o tvrzeních, se kterými se setkáváme? * Co obsahuje termín „tolerance“? * Poskytuje morální relativismus dobrý základ pro každodenní život? * Jaké důsledky přináší náboženský pluralismus? Publikace řady RZIM – Ravi Zacharias International Ministries jsou určeny především těm, kdo si kladou otázky nebo mají přímo těžkosti s vírou v Boha a s důvěryhodností křesťanské víry. 1. vydání

A guide to Christian philosophy that engages with the biblical storyAs human beings, we all qualify as philosophers, and Paul Copan contends that we take a position of trust (faith) shaped by philosophical stances but also personal heart commitments (worldviews). In this thoroughly revised and expanded second edition of Loving Wisdom, Copan explores philosophy of religion from a distinctively evangelical Christian perspective—biblically grounded, informed by apologetics, and engaging with questions about universal human longings. Copan presents a distinctively and deliberately biblical philosophy of religion in Loving Wisdom,addressing a wide range of topics and questions as they arise in the metanarrative of scripture. He acknowledges the difficulties, mystery, and disagreements in “religion,” while attempting to show how the Christian faith does a much more adequate job of responding to a wide range of challenges as well as addressing our deepest human yearnings. With discussion questions for each chapter and an accessible approach, Loving Wisdom is ideal for the classroom or small groups.

A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: God is arrogant and jealous God punishes people too harshly God is guilty of ethnic cleansing God oppresses women God endorses slavery Christianity causes violence and more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.
