In the Christ and Culture podcast with Ken Keathley and Benjamin Quinn, we explore how the Christian faith intersects all avenues of today’s culture through conversations with leading thinkers.
Today’s Episode:
Does criminal justice need reforming? How might the Bible inform the rule of law in the public square? Matthew Martens is a trial lawyer in Washington, DC. He has spent the bulk of his more than twenty-five-year legal career practicing criminal law both as a federal prosecutor and as a defense attorney. He joins us to discuss his new book, Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal. He highlights the strengths of America’s criminal justice system, the failures, some disturbing statistics, the importance of embracing jury duty, and more. (The conversation begins at 8:10.)
PLUS, in “Headlines” (1:05) Dr. Benjamin Quinn talks about the Texas Rangers’ World Series, the beauty of fall sports seasons, and the virtue intrinsic to sport. And in “On My Bookshelf” (33:10), Mr. Martens recommends a book on the rise of populism.
