Beyond Tolerance

Searching For Interfaith Understanding In America

BY GUSTAV NIEBUHR

Brief Description:
In this book Niebuhr explores the cultural and historical forces that have led to the state of religion today. Niebuhr is most interested in the "quiet countertrend ... directly challeng[ing] violence in God's name, even if it does not replace it. At its heart ... a grassroots educational process in which the goal is to gain knowledge about individual and their belief in a way that lessens fear." Niebuhr discusses Quakers and their difficult early history in colonial America briefly at the beginning of his chapter on the religious imperative of hospitality.
