Executing Justice

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“This compelling book incisively analyzes every philosophical and humanitarian argument about the death penalty. It is a searching study of the ultimate invalidity of all the arguments advanced to justify the ultimate power of the state. The last chapter . . . is a powerful treatment of the reasons why Christianity must logically be opposed to the death penalty. No one is entitled to be heard in the fractious debate about the death penalty until that person has pondered the material discussed in this indispensable book.”

Political Forgiveness

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“When unelected regimes move to pluralistic democracies should the new government forgive the wrongdoing of its predecessors? This important volume answers that question. . . . Anyone involved or interested in the dramatic evolution of international human rights needs to read this fine book about forgiveness, reconciliation and reparations.”

The Jesuit Martyrs of El Salvador

History & Biography

“This volume reports vividly on the turbulent politics of El Salvador as well as the awesome impact which the slaughter of the six Jesuits had on everyone. This is a compelling story which should be read on the fifth anniversary of the Jesuit Martyrs and on every anniversary thereafter. Father Mulligan's book will have a special meaning for everyone in the Jesuit family throughout the world.”
