| Description: |
This brilliant study of good and evil examines the presence of ritual violence in sacred ceremony. |
| Synopsis: |
"His fascinating and ambitious book provides a fully developed theory of violence as the `heart and secret soul' of the sacred. Girard's fertile, combative mind links myth to prophetic writing, primitive religions to classical tragedy."--Victor Brombert, 'Chronicle of Higher Education.' |
