Christians worship a Jesus who was executed by the State. So how do we think about the death penalty? This is our second Jesus & Justice gathering, where we explore themes from the book You Shall Not Condemn: A Story of Faith and Advocacy on Death Row, Dr. Jennifer McBride's gripping account of Kelly Gissendaner, the only woman on Georgia's death row who developed a five-year correspondence with theologian Jurgen Moltmann after attending a class taught by the author. The book seamlessly weaves together Gissendaner's story with a powerful theological case for abolishing the death penalty altogether.
