This is the first global examination of the historical relationship
between Christianity and human rights in the twentieth century.
Leading historians, anthropologists, political theorists, legal
scholars, and scholars of religion develop fresh approaches to
issues such as human dignity, personalism, religious freedom, the
role of ecumenical and transatlantic networks, and the relationship
between Christian and liberal rights theories. In doing so they
move well beyond the temporal and geographical limits of the
existing scholarship, exploring the connection between Christianity
and human rights, not only in Europe and the United States, but
also in Africa, Latin America, and China. They offer alternative
chronologies and bring to light overlooked aspects of this history,
including the role of race, gender, decolonization, and
interreligious dialogue. Above all, these essays foreground the
complicated relationship between global rights discourses - whether
Christian, liberal, or otherwise - and the local contexts in which
they are developed and implemented.
