Katharma and Peripsēma Testimonia; Notes; BibliographyThough its coinage can be traced back to a sixteenth-century translation of Leviticus, the term "scapegoat" has enjoyed a long and varied history of both scholarly and everyday uses. While WilliamTyndale employed it to describe one of two goats chosen by lot to escape the Day of Atonement sacrifices with its life, the expression was soon far more widely used to name victims of false accusation and unwarranted punishment. As such, the scapegoat figures prominently in contemporary theories of violence, from its elevation by Frazer to a ritual category in his ethnological opus The Golden BoughStudies in violence, mimesis, and culture.Scapegoat (The English word)English languageEtymologyEnglish languageReligious aspectsScapegoat in literatureScapegoat (The English word)English languageEtymology.English languageReligious aspects.Scapegoat in literature.203.4Dawson David186802MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818111103321Flesh becomes word4095139UNINA
