The fundamental aim of this book is to stimulate reflection and writing on tolerance (both social and personal), particularly from a Christian point of view, and to affirm that personal and political commitments to truth are not averse to genuine tolerance. Indeed, truth and tolerance are inseparable. In their symbiosis tolerance gives to truth the cognitive freedom it needs to be authentically recognized, and truth gives to tolerance the parameters and purpose it needs to function as it is intended - to serve people and communities in their quest for meaning and ultimately the knowledge of the One in whom alone lies their fulfillment.
