Faith in Human Rights: Support in Religious Traditions for a Global StruggleGeorgetown University Press, 1991 M01 1 - 256 páginas In this first comprehensive study of the problem of a universal definition of human rights, Robert Traer argues that contemporary theological discourse contains an affirmation of faith that unites members of world religious traditions with secular humanists in a common struggle to establish human rights as the basis for human dignity. Scholars of religion, law, and comparative religious ethics, as well as human rights advocates will find it an invaluable guide. |
