FOREWORD
The problem of violent crime in North America is cause for grave concern. How should we as individuals and as a society respond to this problem? For many the answer lies in a "get tough" approach. They support longer or harsher prison sentences. They elect to carry handguns. And they advocate the use of the death penalty.
A Life for a Life? is a book for people of faith who look to their beliefs and to the Bible for guidance on personal and social morality. With a specific focus on the death penalty, author Vernon Redekop examines both the psychological mind-set and biblical justification that undergird so much of the support for state execution.
