René Girard and Raymund Schwager

Zusatztext The extant correspondence between René Girard and Raymund Schwager, S.J.âover a hundred lettersâis a treasure-trove for scholars interested in the reception and development of mimetic theory during the formative period of its extension from literary and anthropological analysis to Biblical interpretation and theology. The remarkable intellectual friendship richly evidenced in these letters shows the mutual indebtedness of Girard and Schwager to one another. The lettersâearnest, exploratory, candid, generously humaneâshed light upon the broader academic culture within which Girard and Schwager lived and worked, the theoretical controversies in which they were engaged, and the books, articles, and reviews that they read and recommended to each other. Readers will find these letters, now available in English translation, utterly fascinating.

Vorwort An English translation of the French correspondence between the theorist René Girard and his major theological interlocutor Raymund Schwager SJ. Zusammenfassung The brilliant and ground-breaking mimetic theory of the French-American theorist René Girard (1923-2015)has gained wide-ranging recognition, yet its development has received less attention. This volume presents the important correspondenceâconducted in French and as yet unpublished, let alone translated into Englishâbetween Girard and his major theological interlocutor Raymund Schwager SJ (1935-2004). It presents the personal relationship between two great thinkers that led to the development of a significant break-through in the humanities. In particular it reveals the theological development of Girardâ™s thought in dialogue with Schwager, who was concerned to assist Girard in areas where he had little expertise and had encountered major criticism, such as the theological application of sacrifice. These issues in particular had placed major barriers to Girardâ™s acceptance in theological circles. These letters reveal how Girard, with Schwagerâ™s help, entered the mainstream of theological debate.
