Nietzsche and Theology (Philosophy & Theology) (Philosophy and Theology) By Cra

Nietzsche and TheologyAuthor(s): Craig Hovey\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: T.& T.Clark Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780567031525, 978-0567031525\nSynopsis\nOver a century ago, Nietzsche famously declared the death of God, but this has hardly kept Christian theologians from making positive use of this \""master of suspicion.\"" \nNietzsche and Theology displays how his most generative and provocative ideas are also deeply theological and continue to teach Christians how to be Christians in the world in which they find themselves. Hovey highlights the constructive contributions that can emerge from receptively meeting Nietzsche as modernity's philosophical other. Unchained from resenting Nietzsche's \""philosophical hammer,\"" such encounters will surely reward those who journey into the far country of Nietzsche's Christianity. \n\nThe book examines Nietzsche's critiques of epistemology, culture, history, morality, and metaphysics for their import.
