An excellent summary by @g_shullenberger. One place where Girard seems to slightly miss is in prescribing supposedly Greek rule of law as an antidote to the overweening empathy of Christianity, when Hebraic legalism is right there. Perhaps a bit too close to the Pharisees...

“Men become gods in the eyes of each other” Great work by @g_shullenberger giving an overview of the work of René Girard.
