Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington Quinby (1810-1884) was a Universalist minister, who argued strongly against capital punishment. Using both the Bible as the basis for his position as well as more practical arguments (e. g. it does not deter others), Quinby anticipated many of the themes that are used today in the debate over the death penalty. Quinby also opposed imprisonment for debt and urged reforms in the penal system to foster more humane treatment of inmates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Howard Yoder (1927-1997), who was a professor at Notre Dame University and Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, was one of the 20th century's leading theologians. Scholars continue to study his writings on pacifism and other subjects. The End of Sacrifice brings together four decades of Yoder's published and unpublished writings on capital punishment. He engaged in sophisticated biblical, sociological, and historical analysis in order to demonstrate that from ancient society until today capital punishment is an inherently cultic sacrificial rite. Since the death of Jesus brought a decisive end to all sacrifices for sin, Yoder argues, Christians should proclaim the abolition of the death penalty. Its advocates should no longer claim biblical validation. In doing so, Yoder also makes a persuasive case for proactive Christian witness to the state. He calls the church to proclaim the end of sacrifice to public officials who are responsible for carrying out capital punishment. "John Howard Yoder was unique in how he brings together both the biblical and sociological roots of the practice of capital punishment. Many Christian works focus on the former, whereas other works focus exclusively on the latter."—John C. Nugent
Download or read book Rites of Execution Capital Punishment and the Transformation of American Culture 1776 1865 written by Riverside Louis P. Masur Professor of History University of California and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989-02-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, Western societies abandoned public executions in favor of private punishments, primarily confinement in penitentiaries and private executions. The transition, guided by a reconceptualization of the causes of crime, the nature of authority, and the purposes of punishment, embodied the triumph of new sensibilities and the reconstitution of cultural values throughout the Western world. This study examines the conflict over capital punishment in the United States and the way it transformed American culture between the Revolution and the Civil War. Relating the gradual shift in rituals of punishment and attitudes toward discipline to the emergence of a middle class culture that valued internal restraints and private punishments, Masur traces the changing configuration of American criminal justice. He examines the design of execution day in the Revolutionary era as a spectacle of civil and religious order, the origins of organized opposition to the death penalty and the invention of the penitentiary, the creation of private executions, reform organizations' commitment to social activism, and the competing visions of humanity and society lodged at the core of the debate over capital punishment. A fascinating and thoughtful look at a topic that remains of burning interest today, Rites of Execution will attract a wide range of scholarly and general readers.
