By surveying the historical work done by quite a few able and respectable scholars (religious and non-religious), a serious case for this claim can be made. If religious sources of human rights cannot be discounted completely, then the dialogue between religious thought and human rights should not be unidirectional. In the final sections of this paper, reflections will be made on how the dialogue between Christian thought and human rights may be conducted.engChristian Study Centre on Chinese Religion and Culture, Chung Chi College, Shatin, Hong KongChinaChristian ethicsWitte, John, 1959-Bèze, Théodore de, 1519-1605Althusius, Johannes, 1557-1638Milton, John, 1608-1674Human rightsTheology, ProtestantAsian theologiesReformed, Presbyterian, CongregationalArticle
