Theologian and author Niklaus Peter presents a lecture on French-American philosopher René Girard. Girard's work explains how human desire and competition lead to violence and the search for scapegoats—often the innocent. The talk explores how this connects to the Christian message of Jesus Christ as an innocent victim and how Girard's thought is misinterpreted today.
