Violence, Desire, and the Sacred Hardback

This collection of state of the art interpretations of the thought of Rene Girard follows on from the volume Violence, Desire, and the Sacred (2012). The previous collection received much critical acclaim for demonstrating and showcasing Girard's mimetic theory at its inter-disciplinary best by bringing together scholars applying Girard's insights in different fields. This new volume builds on and extend the work of that earlier collection by moving into new areas, such as psychology, politics, classical literature, national literature, and practical applications of Girard's theory in pastoral/spiritual care, peace-making and religious thought and practice.
