Christianity and Human Rights: Christians and the Struggle for Global Justice Summary:By Frederick M. Shepherd
others as it is about writing. All of the contributors to this volume were unfailingly helpful and collegial. I would especially like to thank Jim Waller and John Witte, giants in their respective fields who have gone out of their way to help in making sure this volume would get published. Joe Loconte and Patrick Byrne also offered advice at key moments. I would like to thank Joseph Parry at Lexington for being a model collaborator. Two Samford students, Mary Ladd and Alex Sconfienza, provided yeoman-like and absolutely indispensable help in editing the manuscript. I am extremely grateful to them. I would also like to single out my departmental manager Susan Murphy for all of her assistance with this volume and goodwill over the years. This volume originated in the 2004 Lilly National Research Conference on Christianity and Human Rights, hosted by Samford University. I would like to thank the Samford administration, especially Provost Brad Creed and Dean David Chapman, for its support. Some of my strongest words of appreciation go to conference codirector Chris Metress, a good friend and valued colleague. Lilly Foundation funding and support made the conference possible. I, as a teacher and scholar, have benefited on numerous occasions from Lilly support, and I thank the Foundation for all they have done for me and for Samford. On a more personal level, I would like to thank my wife, Lorrin, and my three children, Nick, Andy, and Maddie, for their support as I assembled this volume. Their patience and goodwill are a continued inspiration to me! Finally, Father Robert Drinan passed away as this volume was being crafted. Acknowledgments This book focuses on the ways in which Christianity has both lived up to and fallen short of its ideals. It is dedicated to Father Drinan, a man who lived up to these ideals, and who was an inspiration to those who fought for human rights.
