What does it mean to be tolerant? Does tolerance entail
open-mindedness or grudging forbearance? How is it possible to
accommodate those who appear themselves to be intolerant, or who
profess loyalty to an alien set of laws? And how can tolerance be
reconciled with both religious 'truth' and secularity? These
essays, by leading scholars of history, English literature and
political science, address such questions in the context of both
early modern England and America and contemporary Britain and the
US. Placing highly topical debates in vital historical perspective,
the essays explore issues of difference and diversity, inclusion
and exclusion, and the relationship between faith and the state,
with reference to a variety of Christian groups, Jews and Muslims.
They examine how far concepts of religious liberty have really
evolved from that foundational era; the relative merits
of comparative historical and teleological approaches to the
history of tolerance; and how enduring problems of religious
disharmony can be illuminated by comparisons and contrasts with the
early modern period.
