Abstract

This paper explores the intricate relationship between the Christian concept of hope and its implications for contemporary perspectives on human rights and social issues. By analysing biblical teachings, theological frameworks, and historical developments, it examines how Christian hope redefines human dignity and justice in both spiritual and practical dimensions. Drawing on scriptural exegesis and theological reflections, the study highlights the transformative potential of Christian hope as a catalyst for advocacy and systemic change. Through examples from history and modern contexts, the discussion underscores the enduring relevance of this hope in addressing inequality, oppression, and human suffering while confronting the challenges and critiques associated with its application. Ultimately, the paper aims to offer a comprehensive view of how Christian hope shapes and sustains efforts to create a more just and equitable world.
