Book Synopsis Violence and the Sacred by : René Girard

Download or read book Violence and the Sacred written by René Girard. This book was released on 2005-04-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: René Girard (1923-) was Professor of French Language, Literature and Civilization at Stanford Unviersity from 1981 until his retirement in 1995. Violence and the Sacred is Girard's brilliant study of human evil. Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred. Translated by Patrick Gregory>

Book Synopsis Beyond Sacred Violence by : Kathryn McClymond

Download or read book Beyond Sacred Violence written by Kathryn McClymond. This book was released on 2008-07-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that the modern Western world's reductive understanding of sacrifice simplifies an enormously broad and dynamic cluster of religious activities, drawing on a comparative study of Vedic and Jewish sacrificial practices to demonstrate not only that sacrifice has no single, essential, identifying characteristic, but also that the elements most frequently attributed to such acts--death and violence--are not universal.
