Paul through a Girardian lens
4 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
Building on the theoretical foundations of Rene Girard, the author argues that the cross of Christ is redemptive because it reveals the true dimensions of religious violence as motivated by an exclusive understanding of the law. he shows that the death of Christ was offered as a transforming propitiation to humankind, revealing the imitation of vengeance that a perverse bu universally shared view of the sacred produces. Redemption thus gives human beings the chance to take responsibility for their violence, to escape its mystique, and to enter into new relationships of a nonacquisitive and consensual type. This book offers the most compelling treatment of the death of Christ currently available, offering revolutionary insights into important issues in current ethics and theology.... -- Robert Jewett (from the back cover of the book)
