In this lecture, Matthew T. Martens will describe how Scripture provides guidance on loving our neighbors and how this can shape a new view of criminal justice.
Matthew T. Martens (J.D., University of North Carolina School of Law; M.A. in Biblical Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary) is a lawyer at an international law firm in Washington, DC. Martens has spent the bulk of his more than 27-year legal career practicing criminal law as both a federal prosecutor and as a defense attorney, and early in his career served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist at the U.S. Supreme Court. He is the author of the recently released Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, which was named The Gospel Coalition’s “Book of the Year by a First-Time Author.”
