Cover title: Human rights and human dignity.



Human rights : the need -- Human rights : existing protections -- The dilemma, part one : defining human rights -- The dilemma, part two : justifying human rights -- The essentiality of transcendence and the failure of religious answers -- A revelational solution -- The revelational content of human rights -- Human dignity and the human heart.

In clear, easily understood language, [the author] analyzes what human rights are and addresses the crucial question, how can human right, properly understood, be legitimated? Montgomery shows that if there is a foundation for human rights, it must be sought in a transcendent perspective, in the revelational content of the Bible. -- Back cover.
