The religious studies discussion increasingly frequently contains mentions of parallels between the concept of Christ’s virgin birth and the immaculate conceptions of other founders of religions. René Girard called attention to the fact that this parallel points to the most significant difference, which can be seen in the context of the question about a religion’s attitude towards violence. The scenario of conceptions known from the myths of other religions always involves a god raping a virgin. In the biblical story of Jesus’ conception, we find no trace of violence. This is not of secondary importance, since the conception of a deity indicates a qualitative aspect of the religion in question. The word of God, which becomes flesh, is not a word of violence. This approach enforces not only a correction of the notion of omnipotence, but also indicates the necessity to revise contemporary opinions about the relation between religion and violence. The systematic conclusion that it is not violence but transformation of violence that is at the heart of biblical religions has enormous practical, ethical, and political consequences. The paper reconstructs not only Girard’s approach to the issue of the criticism of myth through biblical revelation and his innovative conception of anthropology based on the concept of desire, but also the position of the so-called Innsbruck dramatic theology, inspired by Girard’s thought.

Pilate’s words “Behold the man” are a good starting point for the dramatic dispute about the truth of humankind. In no way does beholding the tortured victim elicit compassion; rather it increases the mob’s lust for persecution. Although Jesus’ persecution is akin to the persecution of countless scapegoats throughout human history, his dying is unique. He is in a radical way nonviolent in his dying and free from any wish for revenge. Thus, Christ dies in an act of solidarity with all victims of human history; still his dying is different from theirs. Therefore this death deconstructs the sacrificial order, founded by the murder of a scapegoat; his death reveals the non violent image of God and the image of a man, who is able to give up himself for others (Proexistenz/ sacricium) The founder of Innsbruck Dramatic Theology, Raymund Schwager, therefore viewed Christ’s cross both as a source of new anthropological insights and as a source of life. As a homo perfectus (GS 22) Christ unites himself with all human persons by identifying with all victims of human history and by asking the Father in their place for forgiveness for the perpetrators. These fundamental soteriological positions will be examined in this article for their anthropological consequences. In connection with René Girard’s mimetic theory, theological anthropology is being anchored in an evolutionary world-view and the classical questions about the creation of humanity by God and about original sin are interpreted in a new light. A mimetic conception of human desire stands at the center of this endeavor. The question of a normative anthropology is approached in the context of Christology and Soteriology and is analyzed in the context of the theme pro-existence/sacrifice. The article reflects the general viability of dramatic categories for present-day theological thinking in the face of an intensifying scapegoat-mentality.
