| Summary: | Perhaps the most astonishing thing about Religion and Rights, a collection of the Oxford Amnesty Lectures of 2008, is that it exists at all. The Oxford Amnesty Lectures is a registered charity whose purpose is to raise funds for Amnesty International and to raise awareness of human rights. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and other secular human rights organizations—in the vanguard of advocacy of rights of all sorts—have typically overlooked the connections between religion and rights and the possibility of specifically religious human rights. The Religion and Rights anthology, edited by Wes Williams, is thus, first and foremost, a contribution to a growing literature on religion and human rights. |
