Thomas K. Johnson was called to become a moral philosopher by means of a shocking confrontation with evil while visiting a concentration camp as a teenager. Written after 36 years of study and reflection, this book is his mature but brief claim that we need the biblical message to under- stand human dignity and human fallenness. He is convinced the biblical worldview provides significant wisdom and guidance to understand hu- man rights and their protection, far surpassing other religions and philo- sophies that address these questions. The book includes biblical studies and moral and philosophical analysis and ends with practical steps all should take.
