On Tolerance. Thoughts of a Christian

Marko P. Djurić orcid.org/0000-0003-2099-6696 ; Velika Ivanča, Srbija

Abstract

The author, driven by historical experience of intolerance on the Balkans, is thinking about the necessity and importance of religious tolerance, drawing on biblical tradition and certain provisions of the Koran. Emphasizing Jesus’ preaching and his acceptance of different people as the foundation of all Christian efforts over religious tolerance, the author sees the reasons for intolerance, as in Orthodoxy so too in Islam, in the separation from true discipleship and adherence to close relationship of religion and politics. In this context one should understand the emergence of fundamentalism which neither knows nor recognizes the principles of religious tolerance.
