René Girard

Stricken by God?

Theology

“This wonderful book is must reading for those who want to keep abreast of current thought on atonement theory. The essays in this work consider whether the suffering servant of Isaiah was truly 'stricken by God.' . . . A rich variety of analyses whose common thread is that violence comes from man and not from God.”

Foreword

“A delight . . . this eminently readable book should have a great impact not only on biblical scholars, but on all cultivated readers concerned with the rise of nihilism and eager to follow the great philosophical and religious debate that is now raging all around us.”
