A Personal Plug

Folks who might find it interesting can read my recent article, Looking for Bedrock: Accounting for Human Rights in Classical Liberalism, Modern Secularism, and the Christian Tradition here. I had presented an early version at Seton Hall University Law School in 2009 and the final draft at Campbell Law School's 2011 spring symposium. I am, to say the least, pleased that it's finally done. I conclude that the current secular justifications for human dignity, a component of human rights, are dangerously weak. I hope that the piece spurs adherents of non-Christian religions as well as Evangelical Christians to think more deeply about what their traditions can say to the human rights movement.
