Abstract
Assuming that one of the aims of religious education is to encourage learners to become tolerant and in particular to tolerate religions other than their own, I consider whether acceptance of John Hick's view of religious pluralism could encourage the development of such a disposition. A brief summary of Hick's view on religious pluralism is presented, followed by an explication of the concept ‘tolerance’. The paper concludes that to accept and promote religious pluralism, as discussed by Hick, is not conducive to securing religious tolerance, a commonly stated aim of religious education.
