Description
Book Synopsis: In this reasoned exploration of justice, retribution, and redemption, the champion of the new monastic movement, popular speaker, and author of the bestselling The Irresistible Revolution offers a powerful and persuasive appeal for the abolition of the death penalty. The Bible says an eye for an eye. 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.
Details

Then "Executing Grace: How the Death Penalty Killed Jesus and Why It's Killing Us" is a must-read for you. In this thought-provoking book, Shane Claiborne, a popular speaker and bestselling author, provides a compelling argument for the abolition of the death penalty.
With a focus on both justice and mercy, Claiborne challenges the notion that taking a life is a true punishment for convicted prisoners. Drawing on historical evidence and biblical scriptures, he demonstrates that the death penalty is not the ideal form of justice we often believe it to be. In fact, it not only robs individuals of their lives but also deprives them of the opportunity for redemption.
