In The Scapegoat, the ninth book of The Golden Bough Series, we reach a pivotal conclusion in the exploration of the Dying God theory. This volume delves into the fascinating role of the Dying God as a scapegoat, a figure who bears the burdens of his worshippers, alleviating them from the myriad struggles of earthly existence. Frazer seeks to untangle the origins of this compelling concept, distinguishing between the tangible and the intangible—between the actual transfer of physical burdens and the metaphorical transference of our mental and emotional woes. As we trace the evolution of this poignant idea from primitive roots to its profound manifestation in sophisticated religious thought, we marvel at the human capacity to transform superstitious practices into a transcendent belief in a God who sacrifices himself to absolve the world’s sins. This volume also highlights the striking Aztec rituals, showcasing the Dying God’s dramatic significance in their culture. - Summary by Leon HarveyCopyright Science Stories スピリチュアリティ 社会科学 科学
