Thomas K. Johnson's journey to becoming a moral philosopher began with a profound encounter with evil during a visit to a concentration camp as a teenager. After 36 years of study and reflection, he presents a compelling argument for the necessity of the biblical message in understanding human dignity and fallenness. Johnson asserts that the biblical worldview offers unparalleled wisdom and guidance on human rights and their protection, surpassing insights from other religions and philosophies. The book combines biblical studies with moral and philosophical analysis, concluding with actionable steps for individuals. Johnson's commitment to human rights is exemplified through his role as a visiting professor at a dissident, anti-communist university in Belarus, amidst its struggle against totalitarianism. His extensive experience includes serving as pastor of three evangelical churches and teaching philosophy and theology across ten universities in eight countries. Currently, he is Vice President for Research at Martin Bucer Seminary, Adjunct Professor of Social Studies at Vilnius Pedagogical University, and Director of the Comenius Institute in Prague.
