Justice and Rights

Deep and exciting encounters between theology and the leading edges of scholarship in universities have never been so essential. In partnership with the Global Faculty Initiative, the Cross-Disciplinary Encounters with Theology series brings together global scholars from diverse academic disciplines in rounds of dialogue and response on key themes of the Christian faith, including justice and rights, created order, and the virtues. This first volume, Justice and Rights, brings world-renowned theologian Nicholas Wolterstorff into conversation with academics from across five continents in humanities, social sciences, law and public policy, medicine and physical sciences to explore the salience of justice and rights for the substance of their scholarship and academic practices. In compact briefs and notes that are quickly and easily read, the contributors skillfully engage with many of the most pressing issues of our time. The first series of its kind, these conversations empower disciplinary scholars to think theologically about their scholarship and academic life.
