Dancing with Mr D

Well considered and scholarly.
Finding connections in myths to current events is a particular highlight of this writer.
I will listen again.
It’s that good.

An Extraordinary Look at What We Are

Countless listens later, I'm still absorbing more of the truth and thoughtful insight that bursts from every chapter. It's an extraordinary read for those interested in anthropology, psychology, criminology, theology, and deeper Christian learning.

Powerful expansion of Christian thought

I recommend this book. It is an important part of my growing appreciation for Christianity. Girard offers some powerful arguments for the scriptures’ value to humanity, plus a hopeful message for everyone who struggles with a sense of pessimism about the modern world.

Wow just wow

This is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. If you’re on the edge, just do it. It’s wonderful.

Insightful but an overreach.

Girard's insight about mimetic rivalries and contagion is helpful and has a lot of explanatory power but to try and explain everything by it is an overreach. It also pushes him to explain things that can only be understood by an appeal to transcendent realities as if they were completely understandable on materialist and human terms.

Probably was not a good idea to have his son be the narrator. The narration left a lot to be desired.
