{"product_id":"9780802821720","title":"Religion And The Death Penalty","description":"Foreword by Jean Bethke Elshtain\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhaled Abou El Fadl\u003cbr\u003eVictor Anderson\u003cbr\u003eJeanne Bishop\u003cbr\u003eJ.
