Reclaiming Christianity and Mimetic Theory: Introduction to Season 5

Progressive Christianity with Pastor Adam

Show Notes

I have been highly influenced by mimetic theory to understand how the Bible reveals the nonviolence of God and the human tendency to scapegoat. Tragically, major politicians have started using mimetic theory as a tool for doing precisely what mimetic theory warns us not to do - scapegoat others. In this episode to begin season 5, I talk about reclaiming Christianity and mimetic theory. I hope you enjoy it!
