Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-26 00:00:00 Berry Curry In the main, René Girard's own books are not the best introductions to his thought as his writing can be a bit dense and difficult. This collection of key chapters and important essays, especially the essay on Scandal the defines what Satan really means in the Bible, is the best entree into Girard's writing for someone beginning to explore his thought. For more of my reflections on Girard's thought see my blog at

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-24 00:00:00 Paul Keating Life changing. Girard's unified theory of human nature explains so many life experiences. Also, Girard's reinterpretation of Jesus' death is super interesting (I'm still contemplating if I agree, but I'm glad to have a new set of ideas to consider).
