But is the state's taking of a life true--or even practical--punishment for convicted prisoners? In this thought-provoking work, Shane Claiborne explores the issue of the death penalty and the contrast between punitive justice and restorative justice, questioning our notions of fairness, revenge, and absolution.Using an historical lens to frame his argument, Claiborne draws on testimonials and examples from Scripture to show how the death penalty is not the ideal of justice that many believe. Not only is a life lost, so too, is the possibility of mercy and grace. In Executing Grace, he reminds us of the divine power of forgiveness, and evokes the fundamental truth of the Gospel--that no one, even a criminal, is beyond redemption"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $z United States. 650 0 $a Executions and executioners $z United States. 650 0 $a Restorative justice $z United States. 650 0 $a Punishment $z United States. 941 $a 4 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022725.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190423012623.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006100217.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180802011047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CABDA336587611E6BD30F7B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
