The Devil Reads Nietzsche: A Public Theology for the Post-Christian Age

by Michael McEwen

The Devil Reads Nietzsche intends to both excavate Nietzsche and explicate how American culture has selectively adopted and appropriated Nietzschean ideals into its stories, symbols, and practices. To be clear, this project is more than a historical excavation of Nietzsche; it’s primary aim is to disciple readers to engage with cultural ideologies from within the biblical-theological narrative, and an interaction with the grandfather of postmodernism and deconstructionism will serve as a “case study” of how we might do this charitably, wisely and winsomely.

[Justin · Rating 5 out of 5]

The vision for the project was better than the execution. But the vision is so helpful and important that it is worth the 5 stars. Charitable, wise, winsome, missional public engagement.
