    Thoroughly generous and well-balanced introduction to Girard
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018*

This is a thoroughly generous and well-balanced introduction to the writings and thought of Rene Girard. His mimetic theory has immense explanatory power radically reaching into and connecting seemingly disparate disciplines and thought-worlds. His more anthropological approach to the Judeo-Christian narrative, climaxing in the Gospel of Jesus, provides an incredible perspective that surely makes for a healthy corrective both to dangerously abstract and dehistoricized theological interpretations of the atonement (that could at the very least subconsciously lead to the endorsement and use of brutal violence), and also to the popular “post-Christian” attempt to pit the concern for victims against the idea of an almost inherently oppressive Christianity (which is itself the intellectual and spiritual revolution that first gave voice to the scapegoated victim in the first place). Between this Reader and the 5 part CBC interview with Rene Girard (do listen to that as well on YouTube), I am captivated by the brilliance of this man, and have been drawn both Girard’s other books and also those works of his influences and conversation partners.

    René Girard: One of the Greats from whom we can learn and learn and learn....
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018*

While Rene Girard is less well known in the United States, in Europe, and I speak particularly of France and Germany, he is considered one of the great thinkers of modern times, on a par--insofar as his influence and his innovative thought is concerned--with Freud and Marx, and he is a far more noteworthy thinker for us at this historical moment than either of those two men, whatever their reputation.  Girard's work is as accessible as it is startling in its clarity, fundamental simplicity, and authenticity.  Reading Girard draws us into one prolonged "Aha!" moment where we ask ourselves over and over how something so clear and so simple could have escaped our notice.  René Girard is--or rather was--a practicing Christian, but he had the most tolerant, open-minded respect and interest in the values of others.  Moreover, his theories are not contingent upon any acceptance of Christian dogma.  He was a thinker of great stature and we should all mourn his passing.

    Discovering R. Girard
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2012*

This book is a great addition to my Girard library in French. I wanted to be able to share my keen interest for his inspiring work and ideas with all my American friends and family. This is the perfect entry point for readers who are prepared to make the effort: this is not casual reading. But the reward in a critical look on many tough issues of our personal and societal lives is well worth it.
