The idea of the rights of minority cultures has been the subject of extensive discussion within the context of contemporary liberal theory, both in relation to the normative requirements of liberal democratic citizenship within culturally diverse nation-states and in relation to various theories of global justice. In spite of significant contemporary theological reflection concerning the issues of cultural diversity and inculturation, however, this heavily contested idea has received very little attention within contemporary Christian ethics under the aspect of rights discourse. This project represents an attempt to engage the issue of the moral and legal rights of cultural minorities within the modern liberal polity through the lens of the Christian theological tradition. It is a constructive theological analysis of the idea of cultural rights, and it attempts to provide a fundamental analytical and normative framework for conceptualizing and evaluating the various types of rights claims made by cultural minorities within contemporary culturally pluralistic political contexts. In discerning inadequacies in standard liberal approaches to the issue of cultural rights, the project bridges existing literatures within the fields of contemporary political theory and theological ethics in order to address the commonly perceived antithesis between individual and collective rights. While endorsing the liberal-egalitarian premises of standard liberal accounts of cultural rights, it endeavors to provide a mediated defense of cultural rights that supports the legitimate attribution of various rights to minority cultural communities as moral entities possessing some dignity or inherent worth of their own, for various theological and philosophical reasons. In so doing, it draws upon an emerging consensus amongst liberal theorists concerning the failure to adequately justify the rights of minority cultures within the instrumentalist framework of ethical individualism, and following Charles Taylor, Bhikhu Parekh, John Gray and other value pluralists, it suggests that a richer understanding of cultural plurality that recognizes the intrinsic value of cultures might serve as an effective means of strengthening the overall normative justification of cultural rights.
