Reviews
Shane Claiborne is a courageous spirit filled voice and living embodiment of prophetic activism in the 21st century. His latest book has echo's Philosopher John Rawls, ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr and theologian Martin Luther King, Jr. with a dash of Woody Guthrie., I'm confident that Claiborne's passionate, comprehensive, and heart-wrenching examination of capital punishment provides what is, to my mind, an irrefutable case as to why Christians simply cannot support the death penalty… it's a call to engage with an issue that too many Christians are content to ignore., Claiborne has called us to apply the teachings of Jesus to one of the pressing issues of our time - capital punishment. In this well-written and meticulously researched book he shows, sociologically, why the death penalty is a flawed penalty and how it demeans the society that practices it., Are we justifying murder? Author Shane Claiborne strongly believes we are as a nation and as Christians., With a characteristically engaging voice, Claiborne delves into how, as a white Southern evangelical Christian, he changed his mind about capital punishment. Through stories, interviews, history, and cogent scriptural reflection, Claiborne takes the reader on a moral journey that's often hard to undertake on one's own…a timely release., Passionate Christian activist Claiborne uses Scripture and societal statistics in an argument for the abolishment of the death penalty. Claiborne's arguments are well-structured and, perhaps necessarily, laced with pleas to emotion. In this often moving and unsettling book, Claiborne provides a meaningful contribution to a deeply fraught topic., Claiborne makes a strong case, using Christian and secular reasoning, for ending the death penalty… certainly provides food for thought., Claiborne masterfully weaves together theology, the history of America's death penalty, and firsthand accounts of its devastating effects. These pages are full of hope for a day when the death penalty is gone forever., The author and activist puts a human face on the capital punishment debate. Executing Grace goes far in helping make Christ central to our conversation about the death penalty. As Claiborne pleads, we must 'think and speak of Christ as one who was executed.', With his characteristic storytelling-both compelling and provocative-Shane Claiborne offers us an insightful look at the death penalty, and why it should be abolished. Executing Grace is a timely and winsome book that might just help to abolish the death penalty in our land forever., If you believe in the sanctity of human life--whether you support capital punishment or not--you must read Shane Claiborne's Executing Grace . Read it with an open Bible, an open mind, and an open heart: you'll never be the same., Shane makes a strong case, using Christian and secular reasoning, for ending the death penalty. As a substitute for the death penalty, the book proposes 'restorative justice'…the idea certainly provides food for thought., Social justice pioneer challenges Christians and non-Christians to abandon the death penalty and adopt a plan of true justice in his thought-provoking new text., If you're looking for religious, biblical (and especially Christian) reasons on which to decide whether to support the death penalty, this is the book to read., Shane's voice is one I've trusted for a long time because he lives what he talks about. You'll turn the last page of this book and you'll not just know more, you'll want to do more., Here is an invitation to build a world where we reject all forms of killing, both legal and illegal. It is a call to join a movement where grace gets the last word. Claiborne's brilliant book reminds us that without forgiveness, there is no future., Shane's book inspired me, brought me to tears, made me laugh out loud, but most of all, gave me hope. There IS a way out of our blood lust and he shows that we will find it together. I couldn't put it down.
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., 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.
