- catalog abstract ""Capital Punishment: A Reader not only presents a pro-con debate of this issue. It also sheds light on contrasting understandings of the crucial role of justice in ethics. It shows how different ways of interpreting scriptures and different understandings of God can support stances for or against the death penalty. And perhaps most important, it uses the capital punishment debate to spell out what is wrong in our society and what we need to do to ensure a more just and peaceful society order." "Glen Stassen has assembled a broad range of contributors, including recognized theologians, ethicists, and writers, who examine all angles of this subject. For those who seek a single volume of balanced, accessible information to help them form their own opinions, Capital Punishment is an essential resource."--BOOK JACKET.".
