Clemens N. Nathan has devoted a lifetime to the pursuit of Human Rights – to understanding and reflecting upon the concept of Human Rights; to participating in, and sometimes helping to create, organisations and mechanisms for the protection and promotion of Human Rights; to helping those who have been denied their Human Rights and to encouraging and supporting research into and scholarship on Human Rights. All this has been achieved by a man who has had no formal training in the field, but who has become a recognised expert through his extensive reading, through working with leading exponents, and by drawing upon his lively intellect, his wealth of culture and his knowledge of history, philosophy and religions. This volume, published under the auspices of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, offers insight into the challenging relationship between religion and human rights.

The Global Face of Public Faith addresses the hotly debated question of the role religion should play in politics in both the American and international contexts. It engages the fears that public religion threatens American democracy and could lead to a global clash of civilizations and new wars of religion. It analyzes how Christianity can attain common ground with other religious communities, thus becoming a force for peace and human rights. The separation of church from state need not mean the privatization of religion. Religious engagement in public life can strengthen civic life by encouraging active citizen participation that promotes both justice and peace. The question of religion and politics should thus become an argument about how faith becomes public, not whether it does. Religious communities, Christianity in particular, should be vigorous advocates of human rights, democratic governance, and economic development worldwide. In so doing, they will also become peacemakers. David Hollenbach is a calm voice of reason in a chaotic world, with an eye that sees beyond national horizons to where human needs and human rights converge. He is convinced that religious traditions can find common ground—through the use of rights and rights language. The Global Face of Public Faith reinforces his commitment to confronting such issues as poverty and economic development, globalism, and interreligious dialogue. He focuses here on faith and the Catholic tradition in politics; the role of the church in American public life; and the wider issues of global challenges and ethics—in a search for a common set of moral standards and a international ethic through a commitment to universal human rights. While not denying the difficulties of forging such a consensus, he nonetheless sees the possibility for justice, and reasons for hope. And hope is something the world can always use.

This book makes a case for the recognition of a state duty to remain impartial with respect to religion or belief in all regards so as to comply with people’s fundamental right to be governed, at all times, in a religiously neutral manner.

Over the past century, Christianity's place and role in the world have changed dramatically. In 1900, 80 percent of the world's Christians lived in Europe and North America. Today, more than 60 percent of the world's Christians live outside of that region. This change calls for a reexamination of the way the story of Christianity is told, the methodological tools for its analysis, and its modes of expression. Perhaps most significant is the role of Africa as the new Christian heartland. The questions and answers about Christianity and its contemporary mission now being developed in the African churches will have enormous influence in the years to come. This volume offers nine new essays addressing this sea-change and its importance for the future of Christianity. Some contributions consider the development of "non-Western" forms of Christianity, others look at the impact of these new Christianities in the West. The authors cover a wide range of topics, from the integration of witchcraft and Christianity in Nigeria and the peacemaking role of churches in Mozambique to the American Baptist reception of Asian Christianity. The Changing Face of Christianity shows the striking cultural differences between the new world Christianity and its western counterpart. But with so many new immigrants in Europe and North America, the faith's fault lines are not purely geographical. The new Christianity now thrives in American and European settings, and northerners need to know this faith better. At stake is their ability to be good neighbors-and perhaps to be good Christian citizens of the world.

"The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) represented a dramatic moment in the emergence of the new international discourse on universal human rights. Contemporary debates around the "freedom of religion" have roots in issues that shaped deliberations from the opening sessions of the Drafting Committee in 1946 to its proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. Revisionist historiography of the 20th century problematizes traditional narratives of the origin of modern human rights and suggests that this discourse was a new mid-twentieth century development facilitated by the emergence of faith-based movements of social and political discourse based in Christian theories of human dignity and rights. On the Islamic side, it was only in the latter half of the 20th century that Muslim intellectuals came face to face with the concept of human rights and Islamic participations remained minimal and mostly within a reactive mindset. The principles of freedom of religion and the right to convert from Islam to another faith were among the major sticking issues. This thesis explores recent historiography on the 20th century human rights movement and demonstrates how representatives of the new faith-based view influenced the drafting process with a close focus on articles related to religion and religious freedom, particularly article 18. It then discusses the engagement of some leading Islamic human rights scholars and grassroots movements towards the end of the twentieth century and their attempts to conceptualize the relation between Islamic doctrines and the human rights discourse around the freedom of religion. Academics such as Fazlur Rahman, Khaled Abou El Fadl, and Abdullahi An-Na'im are discussed as they attempt to present a rights-oriented re-reading of the tradition. A special focus is placed on Mohammad Shaḥrur's "contemporary reading" as one of the most innovative approaches and his arguments for a deep critique of the classical sources of Islamic jurisprudence other than the Qur'an (e.g. Sunna, Consensus, Analogy).This thesis explores Islamic discourses on rights as a complex and evolving response to equally new and unsettling developments and highlights how Shaḥrur positions religious freedom as the crucial test for a renewed understanding of Islam and human rights.
