Journal, 1994:spring/summer:p.16. Capital punishment
is frequently spoken of in the media as a throwback
to less-enlightened times, as was slavery. Is a barbaric
lust for retribution behind the death penalty's continuing
popular support, or are there sound judicial, ethical,
and biblical reasons for retaining and more strictly
enforcing it? J. Daryl Charles defends the latter
view.
