Matthew T. Martens is the author of Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, a book in which he hopes “to demonstrate from Scripture that justice is, most fundamentally, an issue of love.” “Get love right,” he says, “and you will get justice right.

During a visit to Cairn’s campus, he sat down with Dr. Keith Plummer to discuss these important matters.
