of Catholic moral teaching on the death penalty. This volume should

be a valuable addition to all graduate libraries.” —Choice

sociological changes which have assembled to alter the course of
the Church’s approach to capital punishment.” —American Catholic
Studies
"E. Christian Brugger demonstrates how the Catholic position on
capital punishment has shifted not only from yes to virtually
never, but also from the category of just retribution to the
category of a society's legitimate self-defense."—Commonweal
"Destined to become a primary resource on the complex moral
question of capital punishment, this book is the culmination of
many years of extensive scholarship by Brugger...Impressive,
scholarly, and authoritative, this is recommended for large
university libraries."—Library Journal
