Paperback. Etat : Good. Summary: What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain societal rivalry, injustice, and scapegoating. Perhaps none is more thorough or persuasive than Rene Girard's. Yet do his theories on imitation, rivalry, violence, sacrifice, and religion find support in Scripture? These scholarly essays engage this question at multiple levels. Especially Girard's theories on sacrifice and imitation are critically examined in these significant contributions to Girardian scholarshipwhich culminate in a response by Girard himself. In reading this rich collection of essays we are privileged to witness a vigorous exchange between spirited scribes and Ren Girard. His work has challenged them to grapple in a most fundamental way with the relationship between violence, religion, the God of the Bible, and the death of his Christ. -Tom Yoder Neufeld, Associate Professor of Biblical, Peace, and Conflict Studies, Conrad Grebel College/University of WaterlooThis is scholarship at its best: taking theory seriously and exploring the implications. Girard in his notable concluding response emphasizes again the urgency that violence poses not only for scholars but for 'the whole global culture in which we live.' -John A. Lapp, Executive Secretary Emeritus, Mennonite Central CommitteeAttesting to the maturation of reflection on the work of Ren Girard over the past decade, this compelling and well-crafted volume is a substantive contribution to Girard scholarship. Readers newly acquainted with Girard an well as those long steeped in his thought will find much to ponder here. A notable achievement -Martha J. Reineke, Professor of Religion, University of Northern IowaThis book is a cornucopia of insight-the fruit of theological reflection and the grist for creative imaginings. Beyond a significant contribution to Girardian studies of mimetic phenomena, it holds its own theologically and includes much to make the discerning reader a better person. -Vern Neufeld Redekop, President, Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution, Saint Paul, University of OttawaThe Contributors: Diana M. Culbertson, Marlin E. Miller, Ted Grimsrud, Charles Mabee, Gordon H. Matties, Michael Hardin, Loren L. Johns, Paul Keim, James G. Williams, Sandor Goodhart, Willard M. Swartley, Robin Collins, Rebecca Adams, Jim Fodor, and Ren Girard. N° de réf. du vendeur 00109147488
