This volume explores the ''Mimetic Theory'' of the cultural theorist René Girard and its applicability to Islamic thought and tradition. Authors critically examine Girard''s assertion about the connection between group formation, religion, and ''scapegoating'' violence. These insights, Girard maintained, have their source in biblical revelation. Are there parallels in other faith traditions, especially Islam? To this end, Muslim scholars and scholars of Mimetic Theory have examined the hypothesis of an ''Abrahamic Revolution.'' This is the claim that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each share in a spiritual and ethical historical ''breakthrough:'' a move away from scapegoating violence, and towards a sense of justice for the innocent victim.
