Download or read book Capital Punishment and the Bible written by Gardner C. Hanks and published by Herald Press (VA). This book was released on 2002 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book goes beyond proof-text arguments to examine biblical statements about capital punishment in their historical contexts and for present meaning. Does the use of capital punishment in the USA meet Old Testament standards for fairness? How did Jesus and the early church extend God's love in restorative justice? Hanks convincingly shows that the use of the death penalty is not consistent with Jesus' call for love and forgiveness." --from back cover.
