Universal History: The Bridegroom and the Scapegoat | with Richard Rohlin
In this Universal History episode Richard Rohlin and I talk about holy week and the idea of marriage as the basis of civilization alongside René Girard's idea of the sacrifice and the scapegoat. NOTE: Contrary to what I say in the video, the "fig tree" reading is actually from Sunday night (aka the Matins of Monday morning). -- Richard Universal History series: • Universal History Books mentioned: The Ancient City A Study On The Religion Laws And Institutions Of Greece And Rome: https://archive.org/details/in.ernet....
