Revenge and retribution are making a comeback: aggressive emotions are being assessed more positively, the retribution theory of punishment is back in vogue, and retaliatory practices seem to serve a crucial role from both an ethnographic and evolutionary standpoint. How can this kind of valorization be reconciled with a Christian view of human coexistence? This volume succinctly captures current developments through a theological lens.
