- Abstract
- This book aims at examining in what terms, and to what extent, the "reception" of the Human Rights doctrine takes place in Eastern Orthodox countries, as well as in Orthodox diaspora. A series of questions are raised regarding the resources and theological structures that are mobilizes in the overall Human Rights' Debate and controversy, the theological "interpretation" of Human Rights within the Eastern Orthodox spiritual tradition, and the similarities and/or divergences of this interpretation compared to the other Christian confessions. The present book studies the diversity that characterizes the Orthodox theological traditions and interpretations regarding Human Rights, not only in terms of an 'external" or "strategical" approach of socio-political and ecclesial nature, but also through a reflexive analysis of theological discourses facing Human Rights concrete judicial pragmatics. This book aims at experiencing new kind of interdisciplinary between Law and Theology : how to take seriously Law from a theological point of view; how (far) to take into account Theological narratives through a legal approach.
