Download or read book Nietzsche Was Probably Right A Postcritical Assessment of the Christian Paradigm and Its Deity written by Steven Malinak and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-07-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a variety of reasons, recent literature that focuses on the rationality of belief in God and the viability of the Christian worldview fails to stimulate critical thinking in the general population of believers. Nietzsche Was Probably Right succeeds where many of these other works miss the mark. It educates rather than coerces; it focuses on issues critically relevant to the vast majority of Christians; most importantly, it does not "preach to the choir," but instead offers a balanced, objective, comprehensive overview of the issues. Its tone and inclusive, unbiased approach welcomes nonbelievers and believers into this important conversation, offering a perspective that will satisfy anyone seeking a critical understanding of the Christian faith and its deity.
