ABSTRACT

Human rights are perhaps the most important geopolitical concept of the present era. Christ and Human Rights is a study in theology. It must be said at the outset that there is nothing self-evident about the role of Christ in the advocacy of human rights. Christian churches and Christian thinkers have made contributions to human rights issues and human rights actions. Whilst human rights are one of the most important geopolitical issues in the modern world, systematic theological attention to the subject, though significant, has been very limited. The Internet provides new resources of Human Rights action. In Human Rights and the Internet there are excellent discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet in the fight against human rights violations. Resistance points to a human rights construction of theological engagement with black and feminist issues.
