What Do We Owe the Guilty? Capital Punishment and the Demands of Justice

Enoch and Tim examine capital punishment in the United States, not only whether the death penalty can be morally justified, but whether the modern state can carry it out justly and humanely. From lethal injection and nitrogen gas to the return of the firing squad, they explore recent failed and contested executions, the arguments for and against the death penalty, and what these cases reveal about justice, human dignity, repentance, and the limits of state power.Recording Date: October 6, 2026Credits: Drew Elliot (music)
