Review: "Requiem for Moses"

In William X. Kienzle’s Requiem for Moses, Father Koesler is asked to perform a mass for a Jewish doctor – an abortion doctor – a doctor who was an adulterer, a thief, and a murderer – as Father Koesler would find out after the mass – after the good doctor miraculously rises from the dead.

But the real question is: is revenge ever permissible? Is it possible that a person could be so wicked that his loved ones would be just in “putting him down”?
