Summary: Extremely Insighful Look at the Nihilist-Christian View
Review: An excellent addition to any library due to its extraordinary look at life seen through the eyes of Nihilism. Very interesting points, even though I did not agree with all of them. Nonetheless, this book challenged my thinking and made me approach the Bible with fresh eyes and renewed faith.

Summary: An extraordinary look at nihilism
Review: This is one of the most stimulating (and damning)
investigations into what Thielicke calls
"the lonely ism", nihilism.

Avoiding a cold rationalist approach, Thielicke
instead investigates the "fruits" of nihilism,
arguing that there are only two possibilities
of belief, namely theism and nihilism.
Thielicke then goes to great lengths to
demonstrate that true nihilism is itself not
possible in action.

This is truly a classic work of apologetics, written
by a master theologian with a brilliant
and perceptive mind. A "must read" for theists,
philosophers, and theologians, but still
accessible to the layman.
