Violence and the Sacred

Editorial Reviews
Review

"His fascinating and ambitious book provides a fully developed theory of violence as the 'heart and secret soul' of the sacred. Girard's fertile, combative mind links myth to prophetic writing, primitive religions to classical tragedy." -- Victor Brombert, Chronicle of Higher Education
