4-The One Where I Talk about Scapegoating and Give Evidence of My Own Hypocrisy

I’m not sure I would have ever been able to arrive at new ideas about God (which I desperately needed) without wrestling with Rene Girard’s mimetic theory and scapegoating. There are a growing number of resources out there revolving around the ideas of Rene Girard. Some of my favorites include books like, “I See Satan Fall Like Lightning,” (Rene Girard/William James) “Reading the Bible with Rene Girard” (Michael Hardin), “Evolution and Conversion” (Rene Girard), the ravenfoundation.org, and anytime Dr. James Alison interacts with Girardian thought, which he does a lot in his writing and on his website at jamesalison.co.uk. I have way too much fun with music on this episode. It’s amazing what one can do with garage band and a few loops from landr.com. If you moderately enjoy any of these episodes consider leaving some stars and some reviews. Moderately enjoy… I’ve set the bar fairly low there. Feel free to track me down with questions and comments at the sites listed in my profile. Have you seen LQVE.org? LQVE is a really interesting relationship that has developed with Haitian people, for Haitian people in some of the most interesting areas of the Western Hemisphere. jonathan_foster substackjonathan_foster instagramlovehaiti.orgthecurian.network  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
