The Biblical Truth about America's Death PenaltyAn attorney and spiritual counselor and Catholic lay chaplain for Florida's prison system, Recinella looks in the Torah/Pentateuch for teachings that can inform debates on who deserves death, the authority to kill, required procedures, and the plight of the families of the victims. He concludes that the US death penalty cannot be supported by biblical truth, and provides sample resolutions for its abolition and moratorium.
