Capital Punishment/en

⮜ List of Topics

Capital Punishment refers either to the civil death penalty (a destruction of the body by civil magistrate), or to the ultimate death penalty (Second Death), depending on whether it is mentioned in the context of the Moral Law or the Civil Law. Granting that all crimes against the Moral Law make us worthy of the second death, this page will mostly concern itself with a discussion of the specific crimes which merit the civil death penalty.
