The Death Penalty On Trial: Taking of a Life For a Life Taken
In a society that wants to deny a divine absolute standard, I find Dr. Gleason s work both challenging and thought-provoking as he systematically provides the Biblical basis supporting his view on capital punishment.  Brad Dacus, Esq., President, Pacific Justice Institute, Sacramento, CA --Nordskog Publishing's website (NordPub.com)Fuzziness on ethical issues is the bane of modern thinking. Happily, there is a voice of clear reason on the scene. Dr. Ron Gleason brings genuine moral clarity to the issue of capital punishment by his illuminating survey of American History. The reader will be most appreciative of Dr. Gleason s masterful discussion of the objections to the death penalty. This book is a must-read for all lawyers, judges, and law officers.  Pastor Carl Robbins, Senior Minister, Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church, Greenville, SC --Nordskog Publishing's website (NordPub.com)At a time when sentiment and the spirit of the age too often characterize liberal ethical reflection, how refreshing it is to see careful Biblical reflection on one of the great issues of our day. Dr. Gleason not only articulates and defends the Scripture s teaching on capital punishment, but also cogently responds to many of the contemporary objections raised. Accessible without being simplistic, this book should be in the hands of every individual seeking light on this controversial topic.
