Brackney Human Rights and The World's Major Religions : The Christian Tradition 06869 Westport, Praeger Cambridge University Press 2005 xxvii, 316p.; 24cm. 24cm. Indeks : Indeks Bibliography p. 287 - 302 In this volume, the Christian religious tradition is the focus. 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. 1.
