Relativism


Can you explain moral relativism so I can understand it?

Moral relativism is more easily understood in comparison to moral absolutism. Christian absolutists believe that God is the ultimate source of our common morality, and that it is as unchanging as He is. Moral relativism asserts that morality is not based on any absolute standard but rather, on variables such as the situation itself, one’s culture, one's feelings, etc.

Greg Koukl is one of my favorite apologists. He has written extensively on relativism. Many of his articles can be found on the website: str.org. I suggest his work titled: Relativism: Having Your Feet Firmly Planted In Mid-Air!
