| Abstract | "Explores René Girard's mimetic theory and repurposes it to invent a post-Christian "theorhetoric," a new way of speaking to, for, and especially about God. Advocates a rhetoric of meekness that conscientiously refuses rivalry, actively exploits tradition through complicit invention, and boldly seeks a holiness free of exclusionary violence"-- Provided by publisher. |
