What we know of the earliest human communities from their art, myths, and sacrificial rites have been viewed backwards through a cloud of mystification. René Girard provides a lens through which the puzzling stories of dying and rising gods are revealed retrospectively by the light cast from Golgotha as a watermark of Christ’s sacrifice.
