This groundbreaking book offers the first systematic study of the Qur n and Islamic history in the light of Ren??? Girard's mimetic theory. Girard did not deal deeply with Islam, offering only scattered hints in some interviews after the September 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. Addressing this gap in Girardian studies, Adnane Mokrani aims to develop an Islamic theology that goes beyond just war theory to adopt a radical nonviolent approach.

It is a mystical and narrative theology in dialogue with other world theologies on the future of humanity--an urgent appeal needed now more than ever.
