Truth Wars: Talking About Tolerance

The second book (technically it’s number 2, but it was published at the same time as Sex and the Cynics) is on one of the hottest issues in our culture: how do we relate to people with different worldviews and moralities? What does tolerance really mean?

Here’s the blurb and contents list:

‘Why can’t you be more tolerant? Surely Jesus isn’t the only way to know God.’

Christians increasingly face this challenge in today’s fragmented society. Does tolerance mean we have to accept every perspective as equally true? Can we still stand up for the uniqueness of Christ and for Christian morality? Truth Wars: Talking About Tolerance is an accessible and exciting introduction to thinking about these issues.
