Abstract

This article aims to explore Nicholas of Cusa’s views on religious tolerance based on a reading of his work De Pace Fidei. There are some of his ideas that might be useful in the context of religious tolerance. A dialogue among various religious beliefs is one way to find the common ground. For Nicholas, ratio is the way to unify diverse religions, because by nature humans have a desire to know truth, wisdom and God. He believes that the power of ratio is at the same time a belief in the universal grace of God. Nicholas concludes that the purpose of interreligious dialogue is to affirm “uno religio in rituum varietate.” People worship “the same God” in various rites, and different rites are tolerated because through them humans are active and creative in their ways to arrive at the Divine. The basis of Nicholas’ religious tolerance lies in respect to the plurality of unique individuals. He tolerates the plurality of religious rites to a certain degree insofar as they adhere to certain universal principles and live in harmony as expressions of belief in the “One” and bases such plurality on the ontological plurality of human beings.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide an overview of religious tolerance as it relates directly or indirectly to Christianity before the Enlightenment. Religious tolerance in the context of pre-Enlightenment Christianity was complex and diverse, depending on the situation, time periodization, location or place, and socio-political context of the society. In Ancient Greece, political tolerance or intolerance of religion during the Hellenistic period rested on community and legal grounds, not on behavior. Whereas in ancient Rome the Hellenistic political tolerance of other religions and cults was adopted by the Romans, but by also adding some criteria centered on the civil, religious, and theological obedience of foreign gods and foreigners to the Dea Romana, the Senate, and the People of Rome. In the 4th century era of Constantine the Great, religious tolerance was realized with the issuance of the Edict of Milan, in 313, which proclaimed religious freedom in the Roman Empire. While in the 5th century era of Augustine of Hippo, religious tolerance was a careful judgment, driven by caritas. In the Middle Ages, religious tolerance took on a new form as interfaith dialogue, which was realised by including representatives of other religions in theological discourse.
