An interesting read, seeking to address a significant issue within our world. The book considers a number of historical statements, such as the Magna Carta and helpfully comments upon each. Its conclusion is helpful, looking to God alone for our ‘human rights.’
But I found the book unsatisfying. Too often the author seems to confuse mankind with the Church, as if Scripture applies equally to both. This results in repetitive criticism of the various human declarations related to rights. Several of his arguments are non sequitur. And, at points he seems to lean towards salvation by works, e.g: page 172, “there are specific rights that we all now have through the key right of being God’s children, provided that we walk in obedience to the boundaries set by the Giver of those rights.”
The Christian reader will benefit from a thorough and grace-filled consideration of the issue of human rights. This book is not it.
