In this episode of Wisdom’s Way, Pastor Tim Pollock addresses a difficult and often controversial question: Is the death penalty biblical? Examining both Old and New Testament Scripture, he explains why capital punishment was instituted by God, how it relates to justice, mercy, and human government, and how Christians should think about it today. This thoughtful, Scripture-centered discussion also addresses common objections, the difference between justice and personal vengeance, and how a pro-life position is consistent with biblical support for capital punishment when justly applied.
