The so-called virtue of empathy is the greatest rhetorical tool of manipulation in the 21st century. Because love is a real virtue, empathy’s power is in posing as selfless care for victims. When you reject the sin of empathy, you reject the manipulation of the media, the manipulation of family and friends, and most importantly, the manipulation of your own heart. Our Christian tactical empathy book examines how empathy in modern life often functions as a persuasive tool that shapes public emotion and personal choices by presenting itself as noble care for the vulnerable.
