Nietzsche's Coming God analyzes Nietzsche's philosophy from the perspective of re-defining the philosopher's popular identification as one of nihilist thought.

Back Cover Text

In Nietzscheโ€™s Coming God, the author demonstrates that the โ€œdestructiveโ€ and โ€œnihilisticโ€ side of Nietzscheโ€™s thought was in fact only a hammer that Nietzsche used in order to destroy the โ€œmillenarian liesโ€ of Judeo-Christianity, a necessary โ€” albeit transitory โ€” stage that preceded his ultimate creation: the Superman, an incarnation of the god in the makingโ€ฆ the coming god.

Contrary to popular belief, Nietzsche was both a free spirit and a deeply spiritual thinker who welcomed the death of the false god โ€” the god who curses and denies life โ€” not as an end in itself, but as a prelude to the rebirth of the divine. Indeed, although Nietzsche was an avowed atheist, he was also โ€œthe most pious of the godless,โ€ as he described himself in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche dreamt of, and augured, a new mode of divinity and a new hope for mankind which, having rejected both religious obscurantist dogma as well as Cartesian rationalist dogma, would be the search for eternal self-perfection and self-overcoming. The death of the god of monotheism thus paved the way for a new, pantheistic and pagan vision of the divine, heralding a โ€œgod to comeโ€ beyond good and evil, a god who affirms and blesses life. Nietzscheโ€™s coming god is none other than Dionysus reborn, or the redemption of the divine.
