Although we loathe admitting it; Christians have often; through crusade; conquest; and commerce; used the name and power of Christ to promote and justify political; economic; and even military gain. Rieger's ambitious and faith-filled project chips away at the colonial legacy of Christology to find the authentic Christ - or rather the many authentic depictions of Christ in history and theology that survive our self-serving domestications. Against the seeming inevitability of globalized unfairness; Rieger holds up a "stumbling block" that confounds even empire.

Provides a lot of in depth history and details regarding infamous cases in which "race" altered the jury verdict. The book also covers the different forms of the selection of "fair" juries and discusses why affirmative juries are needed in the United States.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
