About this book
Tolerance is by Hendrik Willem Van Loon. The contents list chapters called, among others, The Tyranny of Ignorance, The Twilight of the Gods and The War Upon the Printed Word.
The text asks whether the victorious friends of freedom abolished censorship of the press, and answers that they did not. The text says its speaker saw the day when the Sermon on the Mount was declared to be a dangerous pro-German document which must not be allowed to circulate freely among a hundred million sovereign citizens. The text says good King Frederick felt a tremendous admiration for Voltaire and for years had tried to induce him to come to Berlin. The text says the people of the desert finally turned their backs upon Christianity and declared themselves in favor of the Medinese camel driver who spoke to them of one and only one God.
