Violence Renounced: Rene Girard, Biblical Studies and Peacemaking
Vol. 4 in the Studies in Peace and Scripture Series
Willard M. Swartley, editor
What are the roots of human violence? Many theses seek to explain society 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.
