More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Apologetics authority Paul Copan tackles popular sayings that often leave Christians speechless, such as "All religions lead to God," "Who are you to judge others?" or "Jesus was just another great religious leader." He provides readers with thoughtful explanations of anti-Christian slogans and brief answers to help them continue their conversations with non-Christians. In addition, Copan answers questions about the unevangelized. Study questions for group or individual use are included.
From the Author
A defense of objective truth, morality, Christ's uniqueness.
"True for You, But Not for Me" is a user-friendly book which offers a Christian assessment and critique of relativism (i.e., beliefs or morals are true for some but not for others). It also responds to the increasingly common view of religious pluralism (i.e., all religions lead to salvation or liberation) and the related questions of Jesus' uniqueness and the destiny of the unevangelized.
"True for You, But Not for Me" is a user-friendly book which offers a Christian assessment and critique of relativism (i.e., beliefs or morals are true for some but not for others). It also responds to the increasingly common view of religious pluralism (i.e., all religions lead to salvation or liberation) and the related questions of Jesus' uniqueness and the destiny of the unevangelized.
Although written for a wide and popular Christian audience, this book is especially helpful for Christian students in high school and university (not to mention their parents!) who face slogans such as "That's true for you but not for me," or "Who are you to judge others?", and "Who are you to impose your morality on others?" These are only some of the popular slogans the book addresses.
The book is a basic guide which enables Christians to probe the assumptions of relativism and pluralism while making a case for objective truth and morality, the Gospels' historical reliability, and Christ's authoritative truth claims.
At the end of each chapter is a succinct summary of its contents, and there are discussion questions in the back of the book for small groups, campus study groups, and Sunday school classes.

Format:Paperback
Copan has done a very nice job of addressing common relativistic statements heard in our popular culture. The format is very simple, the chapters divided by the various slogans. Copan provides a nice synopsis of his points at the end of each chapter for review. This book is by no means a comprehensive apologetic, but he states this point explicitly in the beginning. The logic is impeccable and germane, and critics of this work will have to do better than emotive diatribes in decrying the author's assertions. I hope that both theists and anti-theists alike will avail themselves to this cogent set of arguments and employ an open-minded approach to Copan's polemic. I would be interested in seeing an intelligent critique of this work by an anti-theist; one that directly confutes Copan's arguments as opposed to ad hominum attacks or non-specific dismissals.

Format:Paperback
This book exposes the irrationality of relativism. It demonstrates in simple language the ease with which that philosophy's arguments can be demolished. I have purchased several copies and recommend it. I suspect that those unable to comprehend the logic of Mr. Copan's arguments have been tragically conditioned to the point of a closed mind.

Format:Paperback
It never ceases to amaze me when I see comments like : "The logic in Copan's argument is missing" and then fail to read any references pointing me to which particular part of the book actually shows this.
You can attack the book's argument as twisted or flawed, but unless you can show the readers WHICH ONE, you are not saying much.
