"Tolerance is in all-too-short supply in our world. Most
attempts to cultivate greater tolerance urge us to set aside our
differences, including our religious differences, and focus on what
unites us. Many people find it difficult if not impossible to
do that. The authors in this collection, each one a leading
member of one or another of the Abrahamic religions, take a
strikingly different and fresh approach. Each one probes the
resources of his or her own religion to make a case for tolerating
one's fellow human beings even when one disagrees on important
matters. Over and over I had the experience of scales falling
off my eyes. It would be hard to exaggerate the importance
and promise of these fascinating essays for advancing the cause of
tolerance."—Archbishop Desmond Tutu

“Well-crafted, insightful, and evocative . . . This book would work
well in church discussion groups, community study circles, and
college religious studies classes.”—Matthew
