At a time when religious conflict and violence seem to dominate the media, distinguished religion journalist Gustav Niebuhr set off across America to find people who are building, not burning, the bridges between faiths. As he travels across the country—from Queens and Baltimore to Louisville and Los Angeles—he finds Buddhists, Catholics, Jews, Baptists, Muslims, and Episcopalians reaching out to one another to find common ground between their faiths. This insightful and deeply felt exploration of the nature of community and religion is a tribute to their efforts and a boost of much-needed optimism that reminds all Americans of their common goals, no matter their faith.
“ Anyone . . . interested in dialogue among individuals, communities, and nations will benefit from Beyond Tolerance’s wisdom and humanity.”
—Elie Wiesel
“ He has the careful scholarship of an academic, but the communication expertise of a journalist skilled at getting to the personal heart of a story.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
