| Summary: | In vastly different contexts around the world - such as South Africa and Germany - human dignity has proved itself to be an important and useful concept.

In this article, a theological interpretation of human dignity is developed by employing theological concepts such as the image of God, the preferential option for the poor, the commandment of love and the relational nature of being human. |
