About The Book

In this study Jeremy L. Williams interrogates the Book of Acts in an effort to understand how early Christian texts provide glimpses of the legal processes by which Roman officials and militarized police criminalized prosecuted and incarcerated people in the first and second centuries CE. Williams investigates how individuals and groups have been and still are prosecuted for specious reasons because of stories and myths written against them perceptions of alterity that render them subhuman or nonhuman the collision of officials and financial incentives that foster injustices among them. Through analysis of criminalization in Acts he demonstrates how Critical Race Theory Black studies and feminist rhetorical scholarship enables a reconstruction of ancient understandings of crime judicial institutions militarized police punishment and socio-political processes that criminalize. Williams'' study highlights how the criminalization of Jesus followers as depicted in Acts enables connections with contemporary movements. It also presents the ancient text as a critique against the shortcomings of some contemporary understandings of justice and human rights.
