Aharon W. Zorea proposes the argument that moral conservatives must adopt a more consistent ethic of life in regard to capital punishment. In the Image of God attempts to convince conservative Christians to end their toleration of capital punishment in order to ensure the safety and protection of traditional values. Zorea writes that this contribution to an environment of death, which conservative Christians maintain, only further undermines society's commitment to end abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and any other practice that defies the sanctity of human life. Zorea analyzes the subject from biblical, philosophical, and historical perspectives in an attempt to form a clear discussion of this, often divisive issue. This compelling study will be of special interest to Catholics who seek a traditional discussion of capital punishment as well as academics in the fields of moral and ethical theology.
