24 | Mimetic Theory 5: The Crux

This is the final episode in the series on mimetic theory. Here I introduce how Christianity—especially through the teachings and crucifixion of Jesus—unmasks the scapegoating mechanism that is at the foundation of culture. There's a lot of ground to cover, and if you're interested in more detail on the subject, René Girard's 'I See Satan Fall Like Lightning' and S Mark Heim's 'Saved From Sacrifice' are two books that will be of particular help to you.
