Summary
Many critical political issues revolve around religion and tolerance. The predominant approach espouses liberal humanistic virtue. These doctrines fail to resonate in communities with traditional religious definitions of self and society. This text seeks to uncover sources of toleration and pluralism within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
