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.
