Produktinformationen zu „A Violent Origin “
Klappentext zu „A Violent Origin “
Rene Girard s theory of the scapegoat celebrates the Christian tradition where he considers that
Jesus is the only victim to reveal his innocence.
Jesus forgave the community for his mistreatment.
Yet very little academic literature exists on how
Girard s scapegoating can be applied to Islam. This
book, therefore, provides a new angle on Girard s
theory by applying it to the first Imam in Shi ite
Islam, Ali ibn Abu Talib. What is revealed is that
Ali too is an innocent victim; one that is vocal of
his innocence and like Jesus forgave his community
for their treatment of him. The analysis sheds
light on understanding Ali, as an individual, and
his transformation from victim to divinity. This
book will be useful to students of Religion and
Girardian theory or anyone else who wants to
understand Ali s character.
