Chapter: René Girard's Contribution to Political Theology: Overcoming Deadlocks of Competition and Enmity
Wolfgang Palaver (University of Innsbruck) is the author of an essay, "René Girard's Contribution to Political Theology: Overcoming Deadlocks of Competition and Enmity", published in the contributed volume, "Between Philosophy and Theology: Contemporary Interpretations of Christianity", eds. Lieven Boeve and Christophe Brabant (Ashgate, December 2010; pp. 149-65).
Excerpt: "A political theology reflecting on the current state of our world gains significantly by taking the insights of [René Girard's] mimetic theory into account. It will come to a better understanding concerning the type of solidarity that is needed in a globalizing world. Finally, a political theology along this line focuses also on the important role the church has to fulfil today."
The chapter forms part of a section of the book titled "Philosophical Interpretations with Political Theological Consequences". It is discussed, along with all other contributions to the volume, in the editors' concluding chapter.
