Combining Jewish, Greek, and Roman teachings with the radical new
teachings of Christ and St. Paul, Christianity helped to cultivate
the cardinal ideas of dignity, equality, liberty and democracy that
ground the modern human rights paradigm. Christianity also helped
shape the law of public, private, penal, and procedural rights that
anchor modern legal systems in the West and beyond. This collection
of essays explores these Christian contributions to human rights
through the perspectives of jurisprudence, theology, philosophy and
history, and Christian contributions to the special rights claims
of women, children, nature and the environment. The authors also
address the church's own problems and failings with maintaining
human rights ideals. With contributions from leading scholars,
including a foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, this book provides
an authoritative treatment of how Christianity shaped human rights
in the past, and how Christianity and human rights continue to
challenge each other in modern times.
