The structure of society is built upon structures of acceptable blame, but when we can no longer persuade each other about where blame for particular actions should land, it can lead to a sacrificial crisis. René Girard, a master theorist of scapegoating and victimage, characterizes this era as one of sacrificial crisis. The Architecture of Blame: The End of Victimage and the Beginning of Justice explores these critical areas of failed persuasion as symptoms of a deeper and more profound crisis in our religious, social, and political order. It offers six precepts addressing the un- or under-theorized aspects of Girard's theory of scapegoating and sacrificial violence, supported with examples from religion, psychology, literature, and history. These precepts illuminate the root causes of the current sacrificial crisis in the world and open a way forward to a future without scapegoats.
