Subtitle: Taking a Life for a Life Taken

About the Title: This book rigorously examines the controversy over the death penalty with clarity and cogency. After Dr. Ron Gleason lays a thorough groundwork in history and law, he defines ethics philosophically, and then presents the Biblical mandate.

For the secular reader, he illustrates the positions of leading thinkers on both sides of the issue and examines their arguments down to the foundation premises. For Christians - both for and against capital punishment - Dr. Gleason identifies the governing Scriptures and illustrates them with commentary from the confessional statements of the historic Reformed church and some of the foremost voices in the church today.

Proponents on both sides will find the issues in focus and the arguments framed for more meaningful discussion. But as he leads readers to the heart of the matter, they may find themselves drawn persuasively to Gleason's conclusion.

Endorsements:

"In a society that wants to deny a divine absolute standard, I find Dr. Gleason's work both challenging and thought-provoking." - Brad Dacus, President, Pacific Justice Institute

"Dr. Ron Gleason challenges both sides of the capital punishment debate to know and articulate their positions more definitively. He avoids simplistic answers to this serious topic, recognizing that real lives are at stake. This book assesses and provides clear guidance for establishing and maintaining a safe and righteous society." - Dr. Dominic Aquila, President, New Geneva Theological Seminary
