Capital Punishment—Relic for the Barbaric Past or Retribution for the Violent Present?
Description
Capital punishment is a perennial debate. Is it essential for law and order, or is it a cruel hangover from barbaric times? Religions and denominations, and certainly religious leaders, differ widely in their views. The Bible, however, affirms this form of ultimate retribution as a legitimate form of justice for certain heinous crimes and assuming the process by which the decision is made is impartial and based upon moral values. While many if not now most countries of the world have rejected capital punishment, the United States still practices this form of legal, state response to the worst crimes.
