{"product_id":"mimesis-and-atonement-michael-kirwan-9781501325427","title":"Mimesis and Atonement","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Kirwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501325426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501325427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425298104575,"sku":"9781501325427","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52341516-198f-47c1-9bea-d79d6d5bd76b.jpg?v=1761538276","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mimesis-and-atonement-michael-kirwan-9781501325427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
