In 2007 an organization was formed with the name Theology and Peace. Its goal was to develop an annual theological conference grounded in the thought of Rene Girard. Known as mimetic anthropology or mimetic theory, Girard’s work enables a revolutionary understanding of human violence and argues the critical role of the bible in distilling this understanding in contemporary culture. A focused and sustained theological discussion out of Girard’s thought seemed long overdue. The first conference was held in Maryland (May 21-22, 2008) and the second in Chicago (May 26-28, 2009). We return to Chicago for our third annual conference, May 25-27, 2010. |
