{"product_id":"nietzsches-protestant-fathers","title":"Nietzsche's Protestant Fathers","description":"\u003cp\u003eNietzsche was famously an atheist, despite coming from a strongly Protestant family. This heritage influenced much of his thought, but was it in fact the very thing that led him to his atheism? This work provides a radical re-assessment of Protestantism by documenting and extrapolating Nietzsche’s view that Christianity dies from the head down. That is, through Protestantism’s inherent anarchy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Nietzsche is put into conversation with the initiatives of several powerful thinking writers; Luther, Boehme, Leibniz, and Lessing. Using Nietzsche as a critical guide to the evolution of Protestant thinking, each is shown to violate, warp, or ignore gospel injunctions, and otherwise pose hazards to the primacy of Christian ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemonstrating that a responsible understanding of Protestantism as a historical movement needs to engage with its inherent flaws, this is a text that will engage scholars of philosophy, theology, and religious studies alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54261939962200,"sku":"9780367584900","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367584900_3fa0a5e2-9e4f-4d19-b8c8-631b9e7d06cc.jpg?v=1769155217","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nietzsches-protestant-fathers","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
