Nietzsche was famously an atheist, despite coming from a strongly
Protestant family. This heritage influenced much of his thought,
but was it in fact the very thing that led him to his atheism? This
work provides a radical re-assessment of Protestantism by
documenting and extrapolating Nietzsche's view that Christianity
dies from the head down. That is, through Protestantism's inherent
anarchy. In this book, Nietzsche is put into conversation with the
initiatives of several powerful thinking writers; Luther, Boehme,
Leibniz, and Lessing. Using Nietzsche as a critical guide to the
evolution of Protestant thinking, each is shown to violate, warp,
or ignore gospel injunctions, and otherwise pose hazards to the
primacy of Christian ethics. Demonstrating that a responsible
understanding of Protestantism as a historical movement needs to
engage with its inherent flaws, this is a text that will engage
scholars of philosophy, theology, and religious studies alike.
