Book Synopsis
It is often assumed that the law and religion address different spheres of human life. This book challenges this assumption by presenting the reader with an urgent conversation between the law and religion that yields a constructive approach, both theoretically and practically, to the complex role of mercy in our legal process.

Trade Review
An engaging, vital book, well written and pertinent to a wide range of theoretical and practical issues in the shaping of policy in this society's treatment of persons deemed 'criminals.'... This book suggests that wrongdoers deserve forms of justice tempered by mercy and mercy inclusive of some level of punishment that falls short of revenge. Currently, many Americans like revenge. But that makes this book as important as ever. - Donald W. Shriver, Union Theological Seminary, author of Honest Patriots: Loving a Country Enough to Remember Its Misdeeds
