本文目的是要嘗試以基督教信徒皆祭司的觀念來討論人權。信徒皆祭司對人權討論的重要性，在於它指出人權的必須性是它幫助我們實現人性，而藉著教會作為社會祭司的榜樣，我們學懂如何正確地實踐上帝賦予人類的權利與義務。此外，本文亦探討有關人權的普世性或文化限制性、個人權利與群體權利等問題。

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how human rights is understood in terms of Christian belief and practice of the universal priesthood. Our belief of the universal priesthood reveals that human rights is something necessary for one to learn to be humane rather than an excuse to protect one’s self-interest. Besides, through the example of the church as a priest of society, we do not only learn that human rights is granted by God, but also how it is rightly exercised. In this paper, issues like universality versus culture-bound of human rights, and individual’s right versus community’s right are discussed in the light of the concept of the universal priesthood.
