Review: Redefining truth and morality - The New Tolerance : This is an excellent book on the subject of the 'New Tolerance',a cultural movement that is aggressively being promoted in news programs and in print today. The author communicates clearly what is happening, and how Christians can be prepared with a biblical response. Believers in Christ need to read this book and be aware of the current effects of this movement upon your children's education, the workplace, marriage & family life, and even your Church, and Pastors that either promote it or protect you from it. Entertainment and media is a most powerful source of indoctrination for the 'New Tolerance'. Josh McDowell explains what 'Tolerance' means in today's postmodern culture, this he writes, is vastly different from the dictionary's definition, and he also writes how the 'new tolerance' veers from the biblical instruction of tolerance. The author clarifies the various definitions, and gives a thorough description, as well as a helpful overview comparison chart. The 'New tolerance' seeks 'approval' and 'acceptance' of behavior. A person who accepts the new tolerance believes -- his behavior or lifestyle represents who the person is, therefore, to name any sort of behavior a sin is considered intolerant. The author explains the increased acceptance of the new tolerance is consistent with the loss of 'Ethical theism' in our culture. Ethical theism is the belief that - right and wrong are absolute and unchangeable, communicated to people from God through the bible. God's instructions are replaced, and knowledge and human accomplishment are elevated to a position of new moral standards and truth.
