Religion and the Death Penalty: A Call for Reckoning Paperback - 2004
by John D. Carlson (Editor); Erik Owens (Editor); Eric P. Elshtain (Editor)
First line
Until at least the middle of the twentieth century it was generally agreed in the Catholic Church that the state had the right, and sometimes the duty, to impose the death penalty for certain heinous offenses.
From the rear cover
This important book is sure to foster informed public discussion about the death penalty by deepening readers' understanding of how religious beliefs and perspectives shape this contentious issue. Featuring a fair, balanced appraisal of its topic, "Religion and the Death Penalty brings thoughtful religious reflection to bear on current challenges facing the capital justice system.
One look at the list of contributors reveals the significance of this book. Here are recognized leaders from the academy, government, and public life who also represent a wide range of faith commitments, including Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. Like many people of faith and goodwill, the authors disagree with one another, variously supporting retention, reform, or abolition of capital punishment. As a result, the book presents the most comprehensive and well-rounded religiously oriented discussion of the death penalty available.
