The Intolerance of Tolerance book cover

The Intolerance of Tolerance

D. A. Carson

This book questions the contemporary understanding of tolerance, tracing the shift from defending different beliefs to affirming all beliefs as equally valid. The author explores the implications of this shift for culture, democracy, discussions of good and evil, and Christian truth claims. Using real-life examples, he argues that the "new tolerance" is socially dangerous and intellectually debilitating, leading to genuine intolerance of those who hold fast to their beliefs.
