Violence, Myth, and Scripture with Suzanne Ross
from The ChurchNext Podcast · host Chris Yaw
Blaming God for our own violence and failings is as old as humanity. But how authentic is this? And so how helpful is this? Suzanne Ross has dedicated her career to helping people understand that human violence is not divine. She runs The Raven Foundation, which is dedicated to helping people understand the root causes of our violence, shaming, and blaming. It is based in Mimetic Theory, which can help us understand things as basic as why our best friends can turn into our worst enemies. In this episode Suzanne helps us understand how this theory holds true in history, our lives, and the Bible. Her presentations include: Defining Myth and Scripture, Mimetic Theory, Myth: Romulus and Remus, Scripture: Cain and Abel
