What's Wrong With Human Rights

From the back cover: "The 'human rights' idea has been cried up for an alternative to Divine law as “the basis and foundation of government” ever since the Declaration of Rights of Virginia in 1776. It is a foundation of sand. "What are called rights of life, liberty, property, or any of the other of a long list of claims are in fact conditions that prevail when the common law of nations is upheld. Since this common law must presuppose a Divine author, unbelief forces men to seek another explanation. "A 'right' is a legal claim to own or to do something. Rights cannot stand on their own. As a ground of law, they are indeed “nonsense upon stilts,” being derived from law. "In this book, What’s Wrong With Human Rights, Mr. Ingram argues for a return to the universal law of God as the only rock upon which government can stand, and which in turn upholds the benefits so wrongly attributed to imaginary impersonal natural forces."
