| Summary: | A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education reported on the challenges of introducing human rights into an undergraduate humanities curriculum. According to that piece, the difficulties begin to emerge from the start, such as seeking to define the terms “human” and “rights” in consistent and coherent ways, and the challenges quickly multiply, tribble-like from there. This new edited volume, which focuses on the intersections of human rights and religion, admirably illustrates these challenges, conveying the breadth and complexities of the issues at stake. The volume consists of twenty-two separately authored essays, which span a remarkable range of approaches to gaining purchase on the subject. |
