How Religious Diversity Can and Does Foster Religious Tolerance

The main purpose of this collection of essays is to assess the claim, promoted by Philip Quinn, that a serious consideration of religious diversity will result in epistemic humility, and that such humility can, and hopefully will, in turn foster greater religious tolerance.1 While many of the other contributors to this volume quite properly assess Quinn’s explication and defence of this alleged pathway, that will not be my primary focus. I will make comparative reference to Quinn along the way, but my primary purpose is to set forth and defend my own version of a ‘diversity to tolerance’ pathway.
