Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship and is the former Richard L. Evans Professor of Philosophy at Brigham Young University in Utah, USA.</p> <p>In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of Nietzsche's criticisms of Christianity and democracy, what can be learned from those criticisms and what it was like to teach Nietzsche's work at BYU.</p> <p>This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the longstanding challenge that Friedrich Nietzsche presented to Christians and Christianity.</p> <p>(Episode recorded on 11th June 2021.)</p>
