In bringing clarity to hard-to-pin-down concepts like truth, reality, knowledge, and morality, Paul Copan shows relativism to be—fundamentally— a problem of authority. The relativist doesn’t accept any external authority or any authority statements about truth, morality, or God, but the relativist acts as her own authority. As it turns out, taking an authoritative stance on truth, morality, and God is inescapable. The question is: who turns out to be the most reliable source of authority?
