Because of the complexity of covering major Christian categories in one volume, the coverage first take up theological foundations. Material from the Bible is surveyed, after which a discussion of Medieval, Enlightenment, and modern Christian theologians is given. Readers will find evangelicals, liberation theologians and Hans Kung included. A second chapter chronicles obstacles to human rights in Christian thought and action and the help to objectify the treatment. The author displays his predisposition as a Baptist Christian by discussing religious liberty in a separate chapter. Finally section on social concern that from the bedrock of modern Christian discourse on human right, precedes a key discussion of various Christian responses to United Nation declarations. 0a1.
