Toxic Empathy (inbunden, eng)

We are told that empathy is the highest virtue - the key to being a good person. Is that true? Or has ''empathy,'' like so many other words of our day -''tolerance,'' ''justice,'' ''acceptance'' - been hijacked by bad actors who exploit compassion for their own political ends? In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving.

She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like ''abortion is healthcare,'' ''love is love,'' or ''no human being is illegal,'' but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation.

For example, abortion is presented as compassionate for the woman, but what about the human life the procedure kills? This book isn''t about killing empathy; it''s about submitting our empathy to God''s definitions of love, goodness, and justice. Stuckey exposes the logical pitfalls and moral consequences of toxic empathy, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle the progressive lies that have permeated our culture -and our church.
