This critical analysis of the relationship between Christian theology and human rights is written in a lucid and accessible style and is an excellent resource for students and academics interested in theology, human rights and the historical background to contemporary debates. As well as providing a genealogy of the concept of rights, the author surveys the ways in which this development has been closely related to the development of a 'just war' theory, as well as making a valuable contribution to post-colonial studies by focusing on the colonization of South America.Ruston, Roger is the author of 'Human Rights And The Image Of God', published 2004 under ISBN 9780334029595 and ISBN 0334029597.
