This collection of essays focuses on sacrifice in the context of
Jewish and Christian scripture and is inspired by the thought and
writings of Rene Girard. The contributors engage in a dialogue with
Girard in their search for answers to key questions about the
relation between religion and violence. The book is divided into
two parts. The first opens with a conversation in which Rene Girard
and Sandor Goodhart explore the relation between imitation and
violence throughout human history, especially in religious culture.
It is followed by essays on the subject of sacrifice contributed by
some of the most distinguished scholars in the field, including
Bruce Chilton, Robert Daly, Louis Feldman, Michael Fishbane, Erich
Gruen, and Alan Segal. The second part contains essays on specific
scriptural texts (Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac in Genesis 22 and
the book of Job in the Jewish tradition, the Gospel and Epistles in
the Christian tradition). The authors explore new ways of applying
Girardian analysis to episodes of sacrifice and scapegoating,
demonstrating that fertile ground remains to further our
understanding of violence in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.
