One of the central issues revolves around the attitudes of the participants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere were significant differences between Latin and Eastern Christians as well as between Christians and Muslims and among Christians, Muslims, and Jews. But, too, an exaggerated emphasis on the religious roots of intolerance has oversimplified the ways in which ideas of tolerance developed. The essays explore these relationships in their complexity in order to penetrate those generalizations that have often distorted more than enlightened. Tolerance and intolerance therefore are terms that can obscure as much as enlighten. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat the reader discovers in this collection is that these attitudes play an important role in the shaping of international relations. Cross-cultural cooperation was not rare--not entirely surprising given the diversity of groups involved.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Gerver\u003c\/b\u003es is professor of history at the University of Toronto, Scarborough.
