  Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

  This book consists of three titles: 
  Canaanites - During the late 2nd millennium BC, Canaan was a Semitic-speaking civilization located in the Ancient Near East. The region held significant geopolitical importance, especially during the Late Bronze Age Amarna Period in the 14th century BC, when it became a crossroads for major empires. The Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Assyrian Empires all had areas of interest that converged or overlapped in Canaan, making it a key territory for trade, warfare, and cultural exchange. Much of our understanding of Canaan comes from archaeological excavations at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, En Esur, and Gezer, where remnants of ancient Canaanite life have been uncovered. 
  History of Jerusalem - Jerusalem is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Over the course of its existence, it has been invaded 52 times, seized and regained 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice. The oldest portion of the city dates back to the 4th millennium BCE, making it not only a significant historical center but also a symbol of resilience and conflict. Its role in the ancient world has been central to the development of various cultures, religions, and empires that have passed through the region, contributing to its complex and contested history. 
  History of the Jews - Jewish history is a rich tapestry woven over millennia, shaped by the development of a people, their religion, and their culture as they interacted with various civilizations, faiths, and cultures. The earliest reference to Israel can be found on the Merneptah Stele, dated to between 1213–1203 BCE, marking the first historical mention of the ancient Israelite people. However, the religious and cultural narrative of the Jews stretches far earlier.
