Debbie Morris, Helen Prejean, and Elie Spitz — Reflections on the Death Penalty in America

The American public supports the principle of capital punishment, but there is a growing consensus among Jewish and Christian thinkers — across traditional liberal/conservative lines — that it should be abolished in this country or suspended while the system for imposing it is made more just. Reflections on justice, forgiveness, and the nature of God shed new light on America's death penalty debate. See more at www.onbeing.org/program/reflections-death-penalty-america/151
