German Protestant theology, in regard to its understanding of human rights, was late in developing compared to Anglo-Saxon theology. However, after World War II, with the realization of the World Declaration on Human Rights and the development of the ecumenical movement, an awareness of this issue also grew in Germany. Today a "theology of human rights" can be seen in the writings of Moltmann Töd, and Rendtorff. They, however, attempt to develop a "theology of human rights" on the basis of "God's liberation" or "justification". Furthermore, they fail to formulate an appropriate relationship between theological observations on human rights and the generation of the legal history of human rights. Consequently, there is a tendency for their "theology of human rights" to become a mere conceptualization. Rather, it is necessary for a "theology of human rights" to, making use of the research of Jellinek and Troeltsch, take cognizance of human rights as a protestant historical cultural value, making clear the historical circumstances involved in its theological nuances. In that way, we can also take cognizance of the relationship between human rights and the church as a community.
