About the book >.>.> No one contests the proposition that religions bring about intolerance. But the mixed record of religious traditions also encompasses teachings that lead to the tolerance of specified peoples, behaviors, or beliefs. Through case studies covering a wide range of the major world religions, this book attempts to iden-tify the components of religious systems-beliefs, practices, definitions of the social order that yield attitudes of tolerance for or intolerance of other reli-gious groups. The contributors to this book frame the question of tolerance and intoler-ance as matters of public policy in the theory and practice of religious systems, past and present. We inquire into how a religious system in its political state-ment produces categories of tolerance that are to be explained in that system's logical context, emphasizing cases that generate tolerance in social and politi-cal situations.

- Religion Philosophy and Theology
Today, and historically, religions often seem to be intolerant, narrow-minded, and zealous. But the record is not so one-sided. In Religious Tolerance in World Religions, numerous scholars offer perspectives on the "what" and "why" traditions of tolerance in world religions, beginning with the pre-Christian West, Greco-Roman paganism, and ancient Israelite Monotheism and moving into modern religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. By tolerance the authors mean "the capacity to live with religious difference, and by toleration, the theory that permits a majority religion to accommodate the presence of a minority religion."
The volume is introduced with a summary of a recent survey that sought to identify the capacity of religions to tolerate one another in theory and in practice. Eleven religious communities in seven nations were polled on questions that ranged from equality of religious practitioners to consequences of disobedience. The essays frame the provocative analysis of how a religious system in its political statement produces categories of tolerance that can be explained in that system’s logical context. Past and present beliefs, practices, and definitions of social order are examined in terms of how they support tolerance for other religious groups as a matter of public policy.
Religious Tolerance in World Religions focuses attention on the attitude "that the ’infidel’ or non-believer may be accorded an honorable position within the social order defined by Islam or Christianity or Judaism or Buddhism or Hinduism, and so on." It is a timely reference for colleges and universities and for makers of public policy.
