Meurtre fondateur ou accusation mensongère

Bibliographic Details
Summary:	If we consider the biblical texts and several analyses by René Girard himself, we will not find a murder at first, but a mendacious accusation, the belief that some have of possessing the knowledge of Truth and Good. If the mendacious accusation is not foundational, it allows us to understand the victimal processes, and its analysis leads us to reconsider the distinction Girard made between the mythical and the evangelical.
