FROM THE FOREWORD:
“The importance of studies such as the ones contained in this book
is that they both underline the urgency of the cultural crisis and
open up impressive possibilities for conversation between
Girardians and others in the mainstream of our discourse. If Girard
and most of the contributors to this volume are right, such
conversation is anything but a luxury.”
—Right Reverend Rowan Williams, former Archibishiop of Canterbury
