Religion and the Death Penalty

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In my many years of experience fighting the injustices of the death penalty, I have worked closely with people who support capital punishment and with those who oppose it. This book thoroughly captures the complexity of this contentious and emotional issue. Its fascinating and compelling essays move the conversation beyond the usual political rhetoric. Through their religious dimension, these essays pose urgent questions that policy experts, legislators, and citizens alike must grapple with. This is essential reading for anyone who cares about justice in our society.”
