Beskrivning
Many current political issues revolve around issues of religion and tolerance, which are usually countered using the doctrines of liberal humanistic virtue. As these doctrines fail to resonate in communities that hold more traditional religious definitions of self and society, this text introduces a new set of arguments on tolerance and tradition.

"No one is better qualified to assemble such a group … than Adam Seligmen, a tough-minded, profound scholar … Seligman is a master at creating dialogue among visionary thinkers from a variety of cultures. [He] is a vital asset … to the future of Jewish theology in a crowded world." —Sh'ma"Adam Seligman's Modest Claims contains both personal reflections as well as those of various 'dialogue partners' on the nature and need in our own day of religious toleration." —Christian Scholar's Review"...the discussion flows brilliantly and one finally feels what it is like to be the proverbial fly on the wall in a room filled with great minds discussing great ideas. ...the reader will wish to continue the conversation with others. More one could not hope to ask from a text." —Multicultural Review"… offers essays by Seligman and dialogues between scholars representing the three monotheistic faiths and provides the beginnings of a very different set of arguments on tolerance and tradition. In doing so, it seeks to uncover the sources of toleration and pluralism that exist within the traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The author argues that most contemporary approaches leave these sources largely unexplored and marginalized in current public debates and social agenda. This book is a substantial and significant contribution to this topic which will continue to shape our future in many seen and unseen ways." —Contact 145"In his book, Modest Claims, Seligman frames the question of tolerance this way: Is monotheistic religion necessarily intolerant? Seligman replies: 'The answer is "no," if you are asking: "Are [Western monotheistic religions] necessarily intolerant?"'" —Jewish Herald Voice
