Tolerance: Two Lectures; Addressed to the Students of Several of the Divinity Schools of the Protestant Episcopal Church (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the virtue of tolerance, tracing its historical evolution and examining its nature. The author contends that tolerance is not merely the passive allowance of dissent, but an active disposition composed of positive conviction and sympathy for those with differing views, harmoniously blended and grounded in a profound love of truth, humanity, and God. The book argues that tolerance is not incompatible with earnest belief, but rather that a strong personal faith is necessary for true tolerance to develop. The author further posits that, rather than arising from indifference, eclecticism, or organizational unity, genuine tolerance will emerge from a growing spiritual devotion that unifies humanity in their common striving towards the divine. This work offers a nuanced understanding of tolerance, emphasizing its crucial role in fostering a harmonious and just society, and provides valuable insights for fostering this virtue in ourselves and our communities.
