There have been many recent studies of postmodernism by Christian
writers, but few have considered the continuing influence of
Friedrich Nietzsche, the nineteenth-century German philosopher who
was sharply critical of orthodox religion. Stephen Williams fills
that gap with this study of Nietzsche and his continuing
importance. In this book, winner of a Christianity Today 2007 Book
Award, Williams is particularly concerned with Nietzsche's critique
of Christianity. Nietzsche's negative account of religion has cast
a long shadow over twentieth-century philosophy, and Williams
suggests that thoughtful Christians need to consider his case
carefully. Christian students of intellectual history and pastors
will find this study a compelling account of an important strand of
philosophical theology that has had great influence on contemporary
culture.
