In The Ethics of Human Rights , Esther Reed constructs a Christian theology of right, rights and natural rights and does so in constant awareness of and conversation with the public and political implications of such a theology.

The Ethics of Human Rights Reviews

Esther Reed brings together her reading of the Bible and her reading of the contemporary world to make the case that the Protestant churches should give their wholehearted support to the human rights movement. At the same time, she warns against the hi-jacking of the human rights agenda by the wealthy and the powerful. This is a powerfully argued, creative and persuasive book. --Nicholas Sagovsky, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey and Adjunct Professor of Theology and Public Life at Liverpool Hope University
Reed's text makes a significant contribution to the theological discussion regarding theology, theological ethics, and human rights. -- Nancy J. Duff, Princeton Theological Seminary -- Studies in Christian Ethics
