Seller's Description:
New. In the Old Testament God gives instructions for offering sacrifices in the temple. But it is also true that, from time immemorial, people all over the world have built altars and slaughtered animals upon them. Why? The answer, the key to this strange but universal behavior, must tell us something very important about human nature. Continuing the line of thought begun in Violence and the Sacred, in which he looks at the mysterious presence of violence in ritual history (religious, philosophical, and literary), it is Girard's purpose here to show us just what that something is. In the process he develops a novel theory of the atonement which may well prove to be one of our century's few lasting theological contributions. Provocative in the best sense of the word. 216 pp.
