Abstract
The purpose of this study is to seek the reading of Ezra 5–6 from the perspective of religious tolerance by paying attention to the characteristics of religious tolerance in the decision of Darius I concerning the Construction of the Temple. The authors use the Reader Response analysis method in describing the text of Ezra 5–6 by using Dianne Tilman’s theory of the characteristics of religious tolerance supported by historical research from researchers of Old Testament texts. The result of the study is that Darius I emerges as a tolerant and persistent leader, consistent in fighting for the religious rights of everyone as experienced by Israelitess in the Old Testament era.
