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. Reed's use of Genesis 9:1-17, God's covenant with Noah, enables her critical Christian engagement with issue of right and her application of this Christian theology of rights to the contemporary moral dilemmas of animal rights, the environment, and democracy.

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
