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.
