Human Rights. A theological dilemma.

Peter Mills

(Modern Churchpeople's Union, 2004, 15pp, New, pamphlet)

We assume that human rights are part of what it means to be human, but what do we mean by them, and how do they relate to religious beliefs? This booklet analyses the concept and explains the different Christian accounts of them.
 

Facing Death: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Religion, culture and society)

Paul Badham

(University of Wales Press 1996)

The discussion of death is at last being brought out into the open, while the care of the dying is seen to involve more than the traditional services of doctor and priest. Facing death brings together contributors from the law, philosophy, medicine, social work, theology and religious studies to discuss issues such as hospice care, the arguments for and against euthanasia, and religious hope for eternal life.

Theology and Families

Adrian Thatcher

(Blackwell Publishing 2006)

This timely book, by one of the world's leading theologians in this field, makes a positive theological contribution to present intellectual and practical discussions about families and children. It identifies and utilizes theological sources for thinking about real human families; and it reclaims for the Christian church the notion that real "family values" are rooted in the life of the triune God.
