À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Scapegoating promises peace by making someone else pay. Drawing on René Girard, Brandon explores how the cross exposes this ancient cycle—and how Christian theology can tragically recreate it. Jesus offers another way: forgiveness that refuses vengeance, restores agency, and frees us to face life's pain without passing violence onward.
