IS THERE A BIBLICAL BASIS FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT?

The article discusses how the Bible treats the concept of death penalty, with reference to the book "The Biblical Truth About America's Death Penalty," by Dale Recinella. Recinella in her book says that the death penalty is a religious phenomenon encompassing matters of belief, faith, and morals in the U.S. The standards of death penalty were derived from both the written law and the oral law in the Bible.
