  abstract = {There are four apparent features of the Corinthian correspondence which suggest that a Girardian interpretation would be illuminating: 1) a community split by rivalry into factions; 2) calls by the apostle to his readers to imitate him as he imitates Christ; 3) the self-understanding of the apostle as victim and scapegoat; and 4) the exposition of the nature of the Christian community as the body of the crucified victim.  The investigation of each of these features confirms the illuminative power of the Girardian hermeneutical theory. Mimetic rivalry is the cause of the factionalism, and the apostle counters it with the exhortation to imitate Christ the victim rather than each other.  He presents himself as such an imitator of Christ, especially in his sufferings and trials (peristaseis); and he presents an understanding of the church as the body of Christ the victim. [j].},
