James Meyers, III discusses perhaps the most well known secular philosophy commonly known as either Relativism or Pluralism. Having introduced some preceding philosophies which helped shape the world into Relativism, James discusses the ramifications of stripping unity from diversity. Particularly through the postmodern era which sought to deconstruct “societal truths,” we have lost the metanarrative as a society. It is in this vacuum where we find ourselves battling for causes which for the Christian are absolute, but for society are relative. So, when we confront the crisis of abortion, for example, we run into a quandary of truths without Truth, purposes without Purpose, values without Value. Indeed, Relativism cannot endure long as it is self-refuting, but the real crisis is found in the Church itself, where Pluralism has been embraced by many. How are we, as Christians, to answer?
