These possibilities return us to forbearance, which we encountered in chapter 1, in Christian complaint with tolerance. Forbearance was pitched as true virtue, tolerance as imposter. Love for another was said to be the only source of virtuous endurance; just tolerance, it was assumed (or implied), will always arrive as virtue’s semblance. If the argument so far is sound, then tolerance cannot be dismissed as fraud or forbearance regarded as the only virtuous response to objectionable difference. At the same time, we should not allow Christian efforts to strip this moral landscape of everything but love5s forbearance and the semblances of virtue to discount the important truth in the mistake.
