This book provides a sustained, critical and theological engagement
with arguably the most crucial aspect of contemporary society - its
diversity. The author finds in the social theory of Isaiah Berlin a
number of fruitful ways to reframe the debate over these questions,
and to contribute to a more positive conversation regarding our
fundamental differences. The book focuses particularly on Berlin's
critique of monism and idealistic utopianism, arguing that
pluralism does not represent a failure in the nature of human
society, but a superabundance of possibilities in a created world
grounded in the character of God. Bringing Berlin's thought into
conversation with other social theorists, philosophers and
Christian theologians, the book provides leaders and members of
faith communities with a viable model to move beyond tolerance as
mere forbearance to a grace which consists of respect and radical
acceptance of others.
