Christ and Human Rights : The Transformative Engagement Hardback
by George Newlands
Part of the Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series series
Hardback
Description
Human rights is one of the most important geopolitical issues in the modern world.
Jesus Christ is the centre of Christianity. Yet there exists almost no analysis of the significance of Christology for human rights.
This book focuses on the connections. Examination of rights reveals tensions, ambiguities and conflicts. This book constructs a Christology which centres on a Christ of the vulnerable and the margins.
It explores the interface between religion, law, politics and violence, East and West, North and South.
The history of the use of sacred texts as 'texts of terror' is examined, and theological links to legal and political dimensions explored.
Criteria are developed for action to make an effective difference to human rights enforcement and resolution between cultures and religions on rights.
