Jonathan Pageau | Universal History: The Bridegroom and the Scapegoat | with Richard Rohlin @JonathanPageau | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this Universal History episode Richard Rohlin and I talk about holy week and the idea of marriage as the basis of civilization alongside René Girard's idea of the sacrifice and the scapegoat.

NOTE: Contrary to what I say in the video, the "fig tree" reading is actually from Sunday night (aka the Matins of Monday morning). -- Richard
