3. Our Unjust Administration of the Death Penalty.

Subjects
*CAPITAL punishment, *CAPITAL punishment sentencing
Abstract

The article discusses the issue of the death penalty in the United States from a Christian perspective. The author argues that the capital punishment system is unjust due to the high number of exonerations and racial bias. The author disagrees with the reviewer's characterization of the exonerations as being due to "technicalities," emphasizing that these individuals were found to be factually innocent. The author also cites a study that concludes the race of the victim is a determining factor in death sentences. The article raises concerns about the administration of the death penalty in violation of Christian ethics and suggests that God may be angered by this. [Extracted from the article]
