A Quintessential Liberal Value, Tolerance, According To A Common Liberal Narrative, Addresses The Problem Of Monotheistic Religious Violence By Protecting The Individual Freedoms Of Religion And Conscience Through The Separation Of Church And State And Side-lining Judgments About The Common Good. Setting Aside This Liberal Narrative, My Book Recovers Tolerance's Origins In A North-african Christian Tradition That Derives Accounts Of Political Judgment And Patience Within Pluralistic Communities From Theological Reflection On God's Roles As A Patient Father And Just Judge. By Recovering This Forgotten Tradition, We Can Better Understand And Assess The Choices Made By Leading Theorists Of Liberal Tolerance And, As A Result, Think Better About How To Achieve Peaceful Coexistence In A World In Which Many Members Of The World's Two Largest Religions, Christianity And Islam, Are Skeptical Of Liberalism-- Provided By Publisher.
