Writing from years of experience in defending Christian values, Beckwith and Koukl offer a critique of moral relativism. They explore the inconsistencies inherent in the relativist position, suggest specific approaches that can be used in the course of dialogue, and consider the everyday implications of relativism, especially in relation to important issues such as: abortion, homosexuality, multiculturalism, political correctness, and tolerance. Paperback.

I think that this book shows the foolishness of relativism and why the newly adopted American world view just cannot work. The view is also prevelant in my other counties as well. It's amazing how a 200 page book can literally destory the concepts that I was taught all through high school and college. I have begun taking my children through this book so they will not be unduely inflenced by our societies foolish moral stance. I highly recommend this book to anyone who really searches after truth.
