Description

"Too often our culture confuses love with moral relativism, and it is a dangerous misunderstanding. In this much-needed book, Dr. Edward Sri shows us that true compassion can never be separated from moral realities." — Jennifer Fulwiler , author, Something other than God "Pope Emeritus Benedict often spoke of the "dictatorship of relativism," and Pope Francis called relativism 'the spiritual poverty of our time.' Edward Sri heeds the clarion call to action and offers practical tools to talk about moral truth with greater conviction, clarity, and compassion in a world saturated by relativism." — Curtis Martin , founder, FOCUS Edward Sri is a well-known author and speaker. He is a founding leader of FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) and holds a doctorate from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. He serves as a professor of theology at the Augustine Institute and resides with his wife and their eight children in Littleton, Colorado.

Features & Highlights

  • "Don't be so judgmental!"
  • "Why are Christians so intolerant?"
  • "Why can't we just coexist?"
  • In an age in which preference has replaced morality, many people find it difficult to speak the truth, afraid of the reactions they will receive if they say something is right or wrong. Using engaging stories and personal experience, Edward Sri helps us understand the classical view of morality and equips us to engage relativism, appealing to both the head and the heart. Learn how Catholic morality is all about love, why making a judgment is not judging a person's soul, and why, in the words of Pope Francis, "relativism wounds people." Topics include:
  • • Real Freedom, Real Love
  • • Sharing truth with compassion
  • • Why "I disagree" doesn't mean "I hate you"

Talking to relativists

This book aids Christians in the quest of entering into authentic dialogue with relativists. I only Dr. Sri were talking to the relativists directly!

love, and relativism

What an insightful, thought-provoking, and informative primer on reason, love, and relativism. Dr. Sri's focus is relativism and he touches on topics that have been intentionally ignored for far too long. The content is highly readable and the examples are relatable. The keys to responding to relativism are practical which is why I strongly recommend this book for everyone. Happy reading!

An excellent book that I plan to refer to often!

An excellent book that I plan to refer to often. My cousin's book club read this and HIGHLY recommended it. My book club was intrigued and we have all loved reading Who Am I to Judge by Edward Sri. It has lead to many meaningful discussions.

I underlined so much in this book, but here are a few quotes:

"God has a mission for you. He wants every person you come in contact with to look us and see Jesus shining through you. And he has put certain people in your life for that very reason....Will you be Jesus to them?" "Don't let the relativistic culture silence your witness."
