The political dogma of toleration is little more than a tool of the modern state in its drive for power and wealth. In The Long Truce, A. J. Conyers shows that by banishing questions of ultimate meaning from public life, the modern version of toleration has debased our politics and undermined social cohesion. He argues provocatively for a return to the authentic toleration found in pre-Reformation Christianity.
A. J. Conyers (1946-2004) was Professor of Theology at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University. His previous books include, The Listening Heart: Vocation and the Crisis of Modern Culture (2001), The Eclipse of Heaven (1999), and The End: What the Gospels Say About the Last Things (1995).
