{"product_id":"9781501325434","title":"Mimesis and Atonement: René Girard and the Doctrine of Salvation","description":"How are we to best understand the statement of faith that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again 'for us and for salvation?' This question has animated Christian thought for two millennia: it has also bitterly divided believers, not least in Reformation and post-Reformation disputes about atonement, justification, sanctification and sacrifice. René Girard's \u003ci\u003eViolence and the Sacred\u003c\/i\u003e (1972) made startling connections between religion, violence and culture. His work has enlivened the theological and philosophical debate once again, especially the question of whether and how we are to understand Christ's death as a 'sacrifice'. \u003ci\u003eMimesis and Atonement \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together philosophers from Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox, and Jewish backgrounds to examine the continued significance of Girard's work. They do so in the light of new developments, such as the controversial 'new scholarship' on Paul.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173697503472,"sku":"9781501325434","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781501325434_p0.jpg?v=1763707096","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781501325434","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
