The Christian Origins of Tolerance - Jed W. (E. Blake Byrne Associate Professor of Classical Studies and Associate Professor of Philosophy and Political Science Atkins - Bog

This book presents an account of tolerance that differs from the standard liberal narrative. Jed Atkins recovers tolerance's beginnings in a forgotten North African Christian tradition from the first five centuries CE and shows how this bears on questions of political judgment, authority, freedom, rights, religious plurality, and natural law.
