{"product_id":"mimetic-theory-and-islam-michael-kirwan-9783030056940","title":"Mimetic Theory and Islam: The Wound Where Light Enters","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume explores the 'Mimetic Theory' of the cultural theorist René Girard and its applicability to Islamic thought and tradition. Authors critically examine Girard's assertion about the connection between group formation, religion, and 'scapegoating' violence. These insights, Girard maintained, have their source in biblical revelation. Are there parallels in other faith traditions, especially Islam? To this end, Muslim scholars and scholars of Mimetic Theory have examined the hypothesis of an 'Abrahamic Revolution.' This is the claim that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each share in a spiritual and ethical historical 'breakthrough: ' a move away from scapegoating violence, and towards a sense of justice for the innocent victim. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Kirwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030056945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030056940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.50d","brand":"Michael Kirwan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073512042751,"sku":"9783030056940","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e17d1121-5014-4491-85f9-d855e526eb34.jpg?v=1685448255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mimetic-theory-and-islam-michael-kirwan-9783030056940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
