Dr. Ron Gleason is currently the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church in Yorba Linda, California. He appeared on Crosstalk to discuss his book, The Death Penalty on Trial: Taking a Life for a Life Taken.
Dr. Gleason believes that both in the Old as well as the New Testament, there is a basis for the death penalty. Looking at Scripture, Jim and Dr. Gleason look at aspects such as:
--The Old Testament death penalty standard
--The relationship between "kill" and "murder" in relation to the sixth
commandment
--What about adulterers?
--Is the death penalty mandatory or optional for civil government?
--Why wasn't King David executed for the murder of Uriah? How about
Saul and his part in the stoning of Stephen?
These points, along with caller input, are part of a challenging program that tackles one of the most hotly debated topics of our time.
