A diverse collection of essays revolving around the theories of RenT Girard, whose theory of the scapegoat the marginal person accused of threatening social order offers vital insight into the study of religion and society. Early chapters provide general theoretical perspectives on Girard's work in religious studies and historical applications of his theory in relation to classical and biblical studies. The majority of the essays explore contemporary issues. Published by Polebridge Press, 19678 Eighth St. East, Sonoma, CA 95476. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
