Synopsis
Some people believe strongly in "an eye for an eye," while others feel that nothing justifies the state-sanctioned killing of a human being. The death penalty continues to divide our nation, and many citizens are torn on the question of capital punishment. How one feels about the death penalty can usually be tied to one's religious beliefs. Do we have the moral, ethical right to use death as a punishment for the most heinous of crimes, or does the sanctity of human life prevail over all else?In this fascinating book, James Megivern offers readers a comprehensive history of the death penalty in the West. Using a chronological and historical approach, he explores the development of the death penalty through early, medieval and modern periods, following elements of its history throughout Europe. His work provides insight into why there has been such confusion surrounding the issue of capital punishment and presents background for understanding the position adopted in Pope John Paul II's 1995 encyclical, The Gospel of Life. Megivern explores the U.S. Catholic Bishops' rejection of the death penalty, which coincides with its escalation in favor in U.S. public opinion polls. And he gives a sampling of current European theological thought that reinforces universal human rights theory and the ideals of international law.E28+, Some people believe strongly in "an eye for an eye," while others feel that nothing justifies the state-sanctioned killing of a human being.

    Every book as described, but better as the condition is like new, but the recipes are awesome. Bought these to get the recipes I had years ago from my Grandmothers on both sides of my parents. These are the same recipes I have that are so worn from use & some have just faded from time . Thank you very much for having these at such a great price , they will be handed down in time . Fast secure shipping & great packaging so greatly appreciated. Recommended seller!
