Most Protestant and Jewish Bodies Condemn Capital Punishment
The piece reports that major Protestant and Jewish groups in the United States have condemned capital punishment on scriptural grounds, despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing state death penalty laws. It notes Catholic views vary, while National Council of Churches and synagogue councils anchor the broader trend toward abolition. Conservative denominations like the Southern Baptist Convention show hesitation, though some leaders acknowledge potential support under biblical justifications.
