Why Religion began with Blood Sacrifices? [SSL 340]

Hi friends,

In preparation for an adult-level Sunday School class, I came across an article that I wanted to share with you. It features the three momentous conceptions from Réne Girard and his keen insights on human behavior, violence, and how the work of Jesus the Christ deals a final blow to human violence and retribution.

I could use your help. Please share this episode with someone else today.
