Abstract
Human dignity has proven to be a vague term in liberal rights discourse because of its broad
range. This article attempted to provide a Christian definition of human dignity that is helpful
in resolving tensions between equality and freedom. Firstly, it addressed the question of
whether religious understandings of human dignity ought to be considered in the public
domain. Secondly, it provided a theological perspective on dignity, equality and freedom
and, lastly, it considered the special contribution that a Christian concept of dignity, equality
and freedom can make to the rights discourse
