Human Rights and the World's Religions

Edited by Leroy S. Rouner

Boston University Studies in Philosophy and Religion

“This fascinating collection of twelve essays reviews the approach to human rights of Judaism, Christianity, Marxism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Although the scope of the book is broad, the reader ends up with a solid grasp of how all of these religious traditions react to the flowering of human rights as one of the new cornerstones of international or world law.”—Journal of Church and State
