Summary:
Copan, a professor of philosophy and ethics at Palm Beach Atlantic University, submits an excellent and comprehensive resource to help Christians contend with controversial questions about their faith. Copan writes eloquently and respectfully on social and moral themes: When is lying biblically acceptable? Why does a sovereign God demand worship from humanity? How can Christians believe theirs is the only way to heaven? What does God have to say about homosexuality and same-sex marriage? Though each topic is approached with care, Copan does not flinch from a biblical stance and delineates each problem with exemplary thoroughness. Thoughtful readers will find great value in his approach to unpacking Christian slogans as related to truth and reality, worldviews and religious belief systems. He expertly unmasks the problematic 'personal autonomy' philosophy that makes "sweeping relativistic claims, but then tacks on absolute, inviolable standards at the end."
