The Intolerance of Tolerance

This book challenges contemporary understandings of tolerance, arguing that its modern interpretation has subtly shifted from defending diverse beliefs to affirming all beliefs as equally valid. D. A. Carson traces this historical change and explores its profound implications for current culture, including democracy, discussions of good and evil, and Christian truth claims. Using real-world examples, Carson contends that this 'new tolerance' is not only socially dangerous and intellectually weakening but also paradoxically leads to genuine intolerance.
