Nietzsche's basic claim is that Christianity is a poisoner of western culture and perversion of the words of and practice of Jesus. Throughout the text, Nietzsche is very critical of institutionalized religion and its priest class, from which he himself was descended. The majority of the book is a systematic attack upon the interpretations of Christ's words by St. Paul and those who followed him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNietzsche claimed in the Foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader \"... must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion.\" The reader should be above politics and nationalism. Also, the usefulness or harmfulness of truth should not be a concern. Characteristics such as \"Strength which prefers questions for which no one today is sufficiently daring; courage for the forbidden\" are also needed. He disdained all other readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Friedrich Nietzsche\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774761734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774761731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Friedrich Nietzsche","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44042556571903,"sku":"9781774761731","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18c44b71-de3e-471a-a0d9-ec979da127d7.jpg?v=1684962218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-antichrist-royal-collectors-edition-friedrich-wilhelm-nietzsche-9781774761731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
