315: Girard - The End of Scapegoating
Banned Books
The Mythical Sacrifice Succeeds
"There's dark, there's dark humor for you. How the redeemed community behaves," he says. "So mythical sacrifice succeeds. Peace temporarily descends to memories erased and the way is smooth for the next school shooter"
Hey Man, Nice Shot. In this episode, we discuss Rene Girard’s argument for why Jesus’ death as a scapegoat is unique to all other sacrifices in human history. What is violence for? What is a scapegoat, and why is one necessary for peace and good order? How does Jesus break the law machinery that demands a victim?
