45. Justice and The Death Penalty [Meet Me At The Hot Topic]

What this episode covers

STARTER PACK: Meet Me At The Hot TopicIn today's episode and Emily's final taping before maternity leave, she brings a wide-ranging discussion on capital punishment. We ravel out many thoughts on the nature of justice and the Foucaultian concepts of the monastic cell in our modern culture. We ask questions about whether we are choosing to follow the model of Jesus or the Bible itself when they appear to be at odds regarding capital punishment and the rights to life and death.Mentioned in the episode: Matthew 5:38-48 - An Eye for EyeRomans 13:1-7 - Respecting AuthoritiesExecuting Grace by Shane ClaiborneJust Mercy by Bryan StevensonDiscipline and Punish by Michel FoucaultThe Sword of DamoclesA Walk Through The Complex blogWho Lives, Who Dies, Who Decides by Sheldon Ekland-OlsonPhilippians 2:5-11 - Equality with God Not GraspedFollow the hosts on Twitter: Josh: @joshlieuallenEmily: @RevRettinghouseStephen: @stephenghenningJoin our community at patreon.com/ravelpod!
