Frederick M. Shepherd, "Christianity and Human Rights: Christians and the Struggle for Global Justice"

Putting together an edited volume is as much about enlisting the help of

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.
