In this reading selection from Violence Unveiled, Gil Bailie explains the heart of Jesus’ uniqueness in terms of Girardian theory. He also introduces the significance of diabolos and Satan which is a fascinating interpretation. This is a two-fer – learning about a cultural theory of violence and then seeing it in terms of the Gospels.

Other links to Rene Girard on the site are grouped under “Understanding Violence” category (payingattentiontothesky.com/category/understanding-violence/). Professor Girard is a French thinker and devout Roman Catholic who has contributed numerous books and articles to a wide range of disciplines: history, philosophy, literary criticism, critical theory, anthropology, theology, psychology, mythology, sociology, economics and cultural studies.
Girard received his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University and has lived and taught for most of his life in America. His theories are proven by the Truth of the Gospels and he is unabashedly Catholic which makes for great fun in the halls of academia.
