315: Girard - The End of Scapegoating

Hey Man, Nice Shot. In this episode, we discuss Rene Girard's argument for why Jesus' death as a scapegoat is unique to all other sacrifices in human history. What is violence for? What is a scapegoat, and why is one necessary for peace and good order? How does Jesus break the law machinery that demands a victim?
