| Dead Man Walking, The Prequel |
November 29, 2019 |

We talk to Sister Helen Prejean, whose memoir, Dead Man Walking, was the inspiration for the hit movie of the same name. Her new book, River of Fire, chronicles the spiritual journey that led her to become perhaps the world's best-known advocate for the abolition of the death penalty. We hear her take on women in the Roman Catholic Church today, and how they're faring with Pope Francis at the helm. She also offers us her prescription for hope in chaotic times.

| A Different Christian View of the Death Penalty |

Though many Christians root their opposition to the death penalty in their Christian faith, many supporters do the same. We hear from Mark Tooley, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute on Religion and Democracy, who says that most major Christian denominations in history have seen capital punishment as part of God’s design for humanity.
