The Reconsidered Leader, Pt. 8: Holiness and Scapegoating--Stepping Into The Breach for Others

We continue along not only with the reconsidered leader, but alighting upon the concept of holiness once more. This time, we utilize the theory of French Thinker Rene Girard and his theory regarding violence in religion and the scapegoat to make sense of two things. 1) How does Jesus Christ understand Himself to be "set apart," that is, Holy, in contradistinction to the rival political groups in first century Palestine? 2) How must leaders who would lead like Jesus both understand why scapegoating happens, and how it is that the Holiness Christ calls us to unravels the power of the scapegoat?
