Even that which appears to be dissimilar fails to contradict mimetic theory, but instead corresponds to the minimum of illusion without which sacrifice becomes impossible. The Bible reveals collective violence, similar to that which generates sacrifice everywhere, but instead of making victims guilty, the Bible and the Gospels reveal the persecutors of a single victim. Instead of elaborating myths, they tell the truth absolutBreakthroughs in mimetic theory.SacrificeHinduismHistory of doctrinesSacrifice in the BibleSacrificeHinduismHistory of doctrines.Sacrifice in the Bible.203/.42Girard René1923-386685Pattillo Matthew1495599Dawson David186802MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781568303321Sacrifice3719702UNINA
