D. A. Carson could easily be my favorite author. I've talked to one of his former students, and it seems that his intelligence so far surpasses that of everyone around him that it frustrates him. However, you can tell from his writings and his lectures that he deliberately simplifies the ideas that are easy for us him to understand, but difficult for others. There are rumors that at times he reads three books a day, and has memoried the entire Greek New Testament. John Piper admires him for his ability to "read just about everything there is" on a topic. The thesis of this book is not complex or hard to understand. It is rather obvious from the title that it exposes the hypocrisy of tolerance. That is to say, the evolving definition of "tolerance" is intolerant towards those who have higher standards of morals and truth than others. For example, it is becoming increasingly "intolerant" to express the belief that homosexuality is morally wrong.
