Video description:
Nietzsche is one of the well-known “masters of suspicion,” in modern philosophy. He is also famous for declaring ‘God is dead!’ So, can a modern Christian read Nietzsche respectfully? Or even learn something from his work? Does his philosophy articulate a compelling alternative to the biblical account of reality? What is his legacy in our current cultural climate, and to what extent is Nietzsche still a relevant figure? This is what Michael McEwen’s new book is all about!
