Do human rights have a sound theological basis? Sometimes it seems religions give the impression that God is indifferent to human rights, but this needs to change if we are to find a firm foundation for rights. The Rt Revd Lord Harries of Pentregarth, Gresham Professor of Divinity and former Bishop of Oxford, takes up this challenge in this free public lecture 'Christianity and Public Life: Does God believe in Human Rights?', given on the 14th of January 2010. This is the 4th of eight parts, presenting the full lecture on YouTube. The full lecture is available to download (like all of our lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats: http://www.gresham.ac.uk Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download.
