Shane Claiborne je výrazný řečník, aktivista a autor bestsellerů. Jeho psaní a aktivismus jsou poháněny vášní pro milost a snahou žít „tak, jako by Ježíš myslel to, co řekl“.

In this reasoned exploration of justice, retribution, and redemption, the champion of the new monastic movement, popular speaker, and author of the bestselling The Irresistible Revolution offers a powerful and persuasive appeal for the abolition of the death penalty. The Bible says an eye for an eye. But is the state’s taking of a life true—or even practical—punishment for convicted prisoners? In this thought-provoking work, Shane Claiborne explores the issue of the death penalty and the contrast between punitive justice and restorative justice, questioning our notions of fairness, revenge, and absolution. Using an historical lens to frame his argument, Claiborne draws on testimonials and examples from Scripture to show how the death penalty is not the ideal of justice that many believe. Not only is a life lost, so too, is the possibility of mercy and grace. In Executing Grace, he reminds us of the divine power of forgiveness, and evokes the fundamental truth of the Gospel—that no one, even a criminal, is beyond redemption.
In the midst of divisive conversations in the Church and around the dinner table about what it means to be 'pro-life,' Rethinking Life by Shane Claiborne offers a biblical, spiritual, and historical foundation for why God calls us to value lives both born and unborn as we look toward the future with hope.
