Synopsis

Many Christians believe we need to choose between fighting injustice and communicating the good news of Jesus Christ. But what if failing to speak the truth is ultimately the greatest injustice of all? If we truly believe the human heart is the source of injustice and the gospel is the only real solution, shouldn’t sharing the gospel’s transforming truth be our highest priority?With his thoughtful, accessible style, Rice Broocks explores why knowing the gospel is, in fact, every person’s greatest right—and therefore the greatest justice issue of our time.Drawing on contemporary stories and rich historical sources, The Human Rightanswers the question, What is truth?frames evangelism as a human rights issue,explains why secularism lacks the foundation to ground human rights,gives evidence for the existence of the human soul, anddescribes how the Bible has shaped the modern world. The Human Right urges us persuasively toward a renewed conviction that our ultimate calling is to proclaim the gospel—the only truth that has the power to change our world, to change us, from the inside out.

Goodreads review by Joel on December 05, 2024

This is a great book on the topic of evangelism, the Gospel, apologetics, justice, reconciliation, holiness, etc. It's a bit of a grab bag of topics, but there is some cohesion, as the various topics are gathered within the frame of the Gospel as "The Human Right." I think Rice Broocks does a great j......more

Goodreads review by Karla on June 06, 2018

I really like Broocks argument laid out in this book on how hearing the Gospel is a Human Right. It speaks well to the heart of the current ebb and flow of culture. The Bible is the source of all human rights. No other worldview gives us such a foundation for human rights. I love how Broocks takes i......more

I really appreciate Brooks sentiment and am in agreement with his general thesis. However I thought the book was overall a little convoluted topically. I did however thoroughly enjoy the short chapter on the evidence for the soul!......more
