Title: Boring and bad theology
Review: Bailie is an engaging writer and a true believer. I envy him. I would love to believe in the Girardian view. It would make a "mechanism" the scapegoat. This is a much more comfortable problem than the Gospel problem: we are all sinners.Girard is warmed-over Hegel, which has been warmed over numerous times before, leading inevitably to totalitarian regimes.Don't buy it. If you must buy the book, don't buy what's in it. The goat you scape may be your own.
