Sommaire:
What does it mean to be tolerant? Traditionally, it has meant to abide what is objectionable or wrong. But in today's politically-correct usage, it means to approve -- even celebrate -- what has hitherto been disapproved. Now, in 'The Truth About Tolerance: Pluralism, Diversity and the Culture Wars', Brad Stetson and Joseph Conti show how this willful redefinition of tolerance chillingly stigmatizes as "intolerant" points of view that diverge from today's dominant ideology: secular liberalism. The authors wisely survey the social and political landscape and chart a Christian view of tolerance that is biblical and well-informed.
