This volume explores the 'Mimetic Theory' of the cultural theorist
Rene Girard and its applicability to Islamic thought and tradition.
Authors critically examine Girard's assertion about the connection
between group formation, religion, and 'scapegoating' violence.
These insights, Girard maintained, have their source in biblical
revelation. Are there parallels in other faith traditions,
especially Islam? To this end, Muslim scholars and scholars of
Mimetic Theory have examined the hypothesis of an 'Abrahamic
Revolution.' This is the claim that Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam each share in a spiritual and ethical historical
'breakthrough:' a move away from scapegoating violence, and towards
a sense of justice for the innocent victim.
