| Abstract | Although these essays seek to move the death penalty debate away from the models of retribution and deterrence which endlessly and unproductively dominate secular discourse on the death penalty, the religious viewpoints expressed in the volume will have limited effect on the public policy debate, in part because they are expressions of private experiences, not fully understood by the authors, and in part because they are sectarian theological views. Far more significant is something that Gilbert Meilaender hints at: that execution itself unconsciously and perversely reflects “something religious” that captures and excites the imagination of the American public (55). In this respect, exposing the dynamics that underlie support of capital punishment has only just begun. |
