I See Satan Fall Like Lightning - Book by René Girard

Name: I See Satan Fall Like Lightning
Author: René Girard

In I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, René Girard explores the themes of violence, desire, and religion, arguing that human violence is rooted in mimetic desire, where individuals imitate the desires of others. Girard contends that this imitation leads to conflict, which is resolved through scapegoating: the collective blaming of an innocent individual. Drawing on biblical and anthropological sources, Girard explores how Christianity offers a unique perspective on violence by revealing the mechanism of scapegoating. He argues that Christ’s crucifixion exposes the hidden violence of human culture and offers the possibility of redemption through understanding and rejecting mimetic rivalry.
