Abstract
In the form of a commentary on passages from the Torah and the Talmud about the death penalty, this essay identifies unique characteristics of the Jewish concepts of justice and of argumentative dialogue. The Jewish concepts of justice and argument potentially serve as a useful corrective to some current efforts by conservative Protestants to bring religion into the public sphere.
