I read this book many years ago, but have just ordered another copy to refresh my memory. Essentially, the author asks the question: is it possible for a person with deep convictions to be tolerant of differing convictions, and if so, how? He covers many texts from the Bible with emphasis on Romans 8. The subject was handled thoughtfully, carefully, and thoroughly. It helped me to accept controversy within the church with a new perspective without feeling the need to compromise my convictions.
