Senior Thesis Title: Do Justice, Love Mercy: A Biblical Perspective on Criminal Justice.

Senior Thesis Statement: Criminal justice comes when crime is replaced by the retributive consequence, healing of what was broken, and the redemption of the guilty

Brief Description of Senior Thesis: I will be arguing for a Biblical model of criminal justice by discussing the way our system fails, the way our culture responds, and how a just prison should be. I will also discuss how Christians can pursue justice in their communities.

Prayer Request: Please ask God that I would have wisdom to find strong friends, ministries, and communities on campus.
