We live in a culture obsessed with the idea of 'tolerance'.
However, when tolerance, poorly defined, is made an absolute good,
it drifts towards intolerance. It must then, argues D. A. Carson,
be thoughtfully challenged, both for the good of the church and for
the good of the broader culture. Carson examines how the definition
of tolerance has changed. It now has less to do with putting up
with a person or stance while still seeking to disagree, and more
to do with not saying others are wrong. It is impossible to deploy
this new tolerance consistently, so that actual practice is often
whimsical and arbitrary. Worse, the words 'tolerance' and
'intolerance' have become merely rhetorical terms of approval and
disapprobation. Despite the many negatives about these new, often
ethically deficient definitions of tolerance, from a Christian
perspective there have been gains as well. In this valuable and
accessible volume, Carson uses examples and quotations to
illustrate his analysis and concludes with practical advice on
exemplifying and promoting the virtue of civil civic discourse.
