Pointing to Ephesians and Colossians, in which Paul challenged his readers to \"bear with each other\" in spite of differences, Davis draws out a theologically grounded practice in which Christians work hard to maintain unity while still taking seriously matters on which they disagree. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The practice of forbearance, Davis argues, offers Christians a dignified, graceful, and constructive way to deal with conflict. Forbearance can also strengthen the church's public witness, offering an antidote to the pervasive divisiveness present in contemporary culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Calvin Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802875106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802875105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
