Summary:

Friedrich Nietzsche''s notoriety is most often associated with his perspectives on, and interpretations of, Christianity. Here, the author ""unmasks"" the great essayist as he surreptitiously and cleverly proceeds to expose the destructive power of Christianity on Western culture (and hence the world). As we face a rapidly growing specter of religious turmoil and threat on the international scene, this timely study provides an overview of Friedrich Nietzsche's positions and ideas about the Church and about power more broadly.
