The Intolerance of Tolerance

4.70 out of 5 stars

Description

In the Western world, tolerance has ascended to an unassailable pedestal, where it is deemed uncouth to dare challenge its supremacy. Yet, in The Intolerance of Tolerance, D. A. Carson boldly ventures into the forbidden territory, scrutinizing the very fabric of tolerance as we know it today. Carson masterfully uncovers the insidious shift in our understanding of tolerance, from a noble defense of divergent beliefs to a reckless validation of all beliefs as equally legitimate and true. Through a meticulous exploration of this seismic shift, Carson reveals its far-reaching consequences for modern culture, including its impact on democratic principles, moral discourse, and Christian truth claims. With a keen eye for the absurd and the infuriating, Carson presents a compelling case that the "new tolerance" is not only a threat to social cohesion and intellectual rigor but also a catalyst for genuine intolerance, suffocating those who dare to cling to their convictions.
