P 146 Imitation and Scapegoats: Pastoral Insights from the Work of René Girard

£2.77

The work of René Girard has had far-reaching influences on a host of academic fields, from literary criticism, sociology and philosophy to biblical hermeneutics and theology.

This illuminating study examines a number of Girard’s key ideas—from ‘mimesis’ or learning through imitation, to the creation of scapegoats and treatment of victims—and teases out biblical reflections and insights for everyday pastoral work.
