Lecture V: The Christian Revelation | René Girard's Mimetic Theory

Johnathan Bi

CHAPTER

Introduction

Gerard's unorthodox reading of Jesus Christ will help you see Christianity in a new light as it to die. For Gerard, Christianity is the one true religion amongst a sea of false gods. If majority seems eerily similar to pagan societies that we've discussed last lecture, but also clearly distinct in important ways, then you can think, or perhaps blame, Christianity for that distinction. In the next lecture, we're going to understand the present, modernity, and the lecture after that, we are going to discuss the future, apocalypse.
