I see Satan falling like lightning. 3rd edition. Girard R.

The book of the outstanding philosopher Rene Girar, one of the best modern anthropological apologists of Christianity - develops the problems of sacrifice, mimetical violence, understood as an act underlying culture and society. The author turns to the great biblical themes of evil and, above all, to the topic of Satan. In his opinion, the gospel is more likely a teaching about a person than about God, a map of the violence of mankind, in which pride and envy close him. To discover this doctrine of man and accept him, he believes a philosopher means to resurrect the idea of ​​the Bible as a holistic prophecy about Christ. Girard considers the gospel as the key to the entire mythology of the past, as well as to future mythology, to the unheard of history that awaits us.
