{"product_id":"mimesis-and-atonement-michael-kirwan-9781501342714","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. Ren  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 1501342711\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501342714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Michael Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159403917567,"sku":"9781501342714","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c066adc5-3750-4f40-8dee-cef46bc52c88.jpg?v=1689082399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mimesis-and-atonement-michael-kirwan-9781501342714","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
