Concerning Christian Tolerance

0/5 ( ratings)

Concerning Christian Tolerance is the first English translation of a major address by Friedrich Julius Stahl, Professor of Constitutional and Ecclesiastical Law at Berlin. Why is a dusty, old book, more than a century old relevant to today's Christians and today's churches? A fair question and the answer lie, quite simply, in who the author himself was.Friedrich Julius Stahl, a Bavarian by birth, Prussian by adoption, and Lutheran Christian by conviction dominated for more than two decades the debates on confessional liberties versus the intellectual and political correctness of his day.Stahl argues that the entire Enlightenment concept of religious tolerance based on equal philosophical entitlement is not true tolerance but an enforced emancipation disguising a deeply anti-religious root. True Christian tolerance is rooted in the sentiment of I Corinthians 13 and is seated not in theological doctrines or particular church affiliation but in a more pietistic view of the individual's direct spiritual relation to God.Looking beyond the mundane affairs of churches and the obtuse wrangling over points of theology, he identifies a pivotal failure of the churches representing the three historical branches of Christianity.Setting aside the historical context of this address, the measuring of true Christian tolerance is as timely as ever in an age when the philosophical tolerance that Stahl has demonstrated as unworthy of faithful Christians now has the upper hand in the civil arena, praising diversity and political correctness above all things.
