Focusing on the intersection of violence, civilization, and religion, this work offers a thorough analysis of Girard's theories as they apply to the entire Bible. Williams presents a groundbreaking proposal for a biblical theology centered around the concept of a nonviolent God, challenging traditional interpretations and inviting readers to reconsider the implications of scripture in light of Girard's insights. This comprehensive application aims to deepen the understanding of biblical narratives and their theological significance.
