Bandera is not only a celebrated and distinguished interpreter of Latin and Greek literature, of Cervantes and Calder?n, and many other seminal figures, but was also a friend and colleague of the late Ren? Girard, the celebrated Catholic theorist of the \"scapegoat mechanism\" as the fundamental logic underlying all human communities and polities; and in the field of literary studies, he is considered a decisive interlocutor of Girard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough striking readings of Biblical texts, of Cervantes, of Virgil, and, above all, of Girard's own works, Bandera raises a fundamental question about Girard's theory. Can it really, as Girard himself thought, be articulated in a way that does not rely on any particular theological standpoint? Or is it instead, as Bandera argues, intimately dependent on the revealed truth of Christ on the cross-a revealed truth which Girard, as a believing Catholic, himself confessed? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Truth of Mankind\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest not only to all who wish to understand Girard's thinking and its relationship to Christianity, but also to anyone seeking to understand how Christianity can address the most urgent social and ethical questions faced by human life on this planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713336250464,"sku":"9798892800303","price":58.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/AEyDGZYhx39798892800303.webp?v=1776358404","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-truth-of-mankind-reflections-on-girardian-theory-hardcover","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
