Justice, Rights and Wrongs
Book •
Nicholas Wolterstorff argues that the biblical doctrine of the image of God provides a firm grounding for human rights and dignity.
He traces historical uses of rights language back to medieval Christian thought and critiques secular attempts to account for inherent human worth.
Wolterstorff maintains that relational properties—being loved by God—can explain intrinsic human value and rights.
The book engages both historical scholarship and analytic philosophy to defend its claims.
It has been influential in debates about religion's public role and the foundations of justice.
