Who Am I to Judge?: Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
“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.”

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.
