Beskrivning
How are we to best understand the statement of faith that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again ‘for us and for salvation?’ This question has animated Christian thought for two millennia: it has also bitterly divided believers, not least in Reformation and post-Reformation disputes about atonement, justification, sanctification and sacrifice. René Girard’s Violence and the Sacred (1972) made startling connections between religion, violence and culture. His work has enlivened the theological and philosophical debate once again, especially the question of whether and how we are to understand Christ’s death as a ‘sacrifice’. Mimesis and Atonement brings together philosophers from Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox, and Jewish backgrounds to examine the continued significance of Girard’s work. They do so in the light of new developments, such as the controversial ‘new scholarship’ on Paul.

Recensioner i media

Mimesis and Atonement brings together a variety of perspectives, giving the reader a glimpse of the significance and richness of Girard’s work for religious thinkers … Girard is not a figure that theologians can afford to ignore, and this book is a fine example of engagement with his thought … This reviewer commends Mimesis and Atonement to all scholars and students who have any interest in the significance of Girard for atonement theory, and for broader questions of sacrifice, violence, and reconciliation.
