Summary: Turning relativism on its head
Review: The book's main premise is that relativism (postmodernism, the belief that nothing can be known, so reality is just a tale that we spin) is self-refuting. Moreover, relativism is an uncommonly intolerant position, because while claiming to practice tolerance, relativists reject *all* truth-claims. Instead of offering tolerance and freedom to everyone, they offer it to no one.
Contrary to what some of the associated links might suggest, this is not a political book. People who believe in objective values comprise practically the whole political spectrum, from left to right.

Summary: Very concise...
Review: The motto of the post modern age seems to be "even if that's true for you, it doesn't have to be true for me." Intolerance is the unpardonable sin to the pomo mindset, and that leaves Christians as heretics to the new order. Christians have been labeled as intolerant, arrogant, and narrow minded for insisting that there are absalutes. Often, we can add defensive to that list, as we try to defend our stance. **** To address this, Art Lindsley has written a concise book that will explain why absalute truth is real and how to defend your beliefs without being arrogant or defensive. His source list is impressive, his arguments, logical. All together, this is a fascinating, scholarly treatise. **** Amanda Killgore for Huntress Reviews.
