The Long Truce

The Long Truce is a book to read and reread.

~Donald Livingston, Professor of Philosophy, Emory University

Conyers’s book launches an engaging assault on one of the great sacred cows of modern political science and religious studies, the doctrine of toleration....this is a provocative work that ought to be read widely by undergraduates as well as graduate students in ethics and political science, not only for the genealogy of toleration that it offers but also for its constructive proposal.

~Religious Studies Review

A book to be read and reread. Through keen philosophical and historical analysis, Conyers shows how the cry and command for ‘toleration’ has actually drained the life out of traditional cultures, confused the moral life, and been prodigal of blood and human distress.

~William M. Wilson, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia
