- W3206851569 abstract "The modern era began in 1500 with the Renaissance in Italy, the European discovery of the Americas, and a Reformation in Christianity. These events led to an incredible explosion of economic prosperity and religious conflict. While the modern era is ending, the beginning of the new era is marked by an incredible explosion of world-wide prosperity under the quasi-religious designation of globalization-and a world-wide religious conflict has developed around the growth and expansion of radical Islam.Although standards to restrain and channel the economic forces of globalization still need to be developed, one of the modern era's last achievements was the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).' The UDHR is aspirational in that it does not carry the force of law. Nevertheless, the United Nations has issued covenants and declarations calling on the nations of the world to come forth and bind themselves to the principles enunciated in the UDHR. Regional covenants and conventions, such as the European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (European Convention), have been modeled after UDHR provisions and carry the force of law. In whatever form they appear, the UDHR has become the coin of the realm when it comes to human rights world-wide. Countries who only give lip service to its concepts-while in practice failing to comply with its provisions-feel compelled to recognize and agree to its provisions, albeit with reservations.There seems to be widespread acknowledgment that the source of the modem idea of human rights is traceable to the Enlightenment, and credit is given to Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Mill, and others who were instrumental in secularizing philosophy in the Western tradition. Without denying the importance of these writers, this article seeks to lay out in brief fashion the biblical doctrines, particularly their development through the time of the English Revolution, that laid a permanent foundation upon which these later writers would construct the freedoms that are incorporated into the human rights regime. This article is titled A Religious Critique because it demonstrates that the three pillars of the human rights regime-human dignity, rule of law, and universality-are just as easily supported by religious thought as philosophical thought in the modern world." @default.
