Toleration
has become a keystone of liberal political philosophy, but with liberalism
under attack today as inadequate for dealing with all the problems
of a pluralistic world, other resources are needed. Cary Nederman
directs our attention to the creative thinking about toleration that
preceded the rise of liberalism and canvasses the diverse ideas proposed
then within Christianity as a response to religious, cultural, national,
and ethnic differences.
