GoodBookStall Review:
This is an excellent short and concise overview to Nietzsche written in an engaging style for such an intelligent subject as the philosophy of Nietzsche, who is not at all an easy philosopher to get to grips with in the normal run of things, and even more so in the much maligned and misquoted aspects of his thoughts and idea's surrounding religion. One has to be honest and though it claims to be an introduction to Nietzsche it would have been more accurate for it to be entitled an introduction to Nietzsche on religion, because this is actually what the book deals with, and it does this in a very good way indeed. It is a book written from a Christian perspective and for a Christian perspective and yet it is well balanced and honest in its engagement with the subject matter. It was a joy to read and certainly is a must read for any undergrad or person with an interest in philosophy, Nietzsche and religion.
