A note for parents
This is a scholarly guide to Nietzsche's philosophical critique of Christianity, designed for university students with no prior background. The book itself is academic and analytical rather than inflammatory, but Nietzsche's original text contains forceful denunciations of Christian ethics and doctrines that may disturb younger or religious readers. The guide helps contextualize and unpack difficult rhetoric, making it suitable for mature teens and adults engaging seriously with philosophy.

From the publisher
The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche - and one of his most frequently misrepresented. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section... The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche - and one of his most frequently misrepresented. Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section. Bishop unpacks the difficulties that many readers face when dealing with Nietzsche's rhetoric. And he contextualises the text within the wider contexts of Nietzsche's thought as a whole and the broader currents of contemporary 19th and 20th century thought. Student resources include a chronology of Nietzsche's life and work, a glossary of key terms, an index of names and subjects and a guide to further reading.
