Summary of Brian Zahnd's When Everything's on Fire

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Modernity is no friend to Christian faith, and the challenges we face are real. But it is possible to have a thriving Christian faith in the twenty-first century. #2 In 1882, Nietzsche published a parable called The Madman that foresaw the decline of Christian faith in the twentieth century. Today, it’s a more relevant question than ever: Is God dead. #3 Nietzsche’s famous phrase, God is dead, means that he believes that belief in God will soon cease to be the organizing principle of European civilization. He was entirely correct in his prophecy. #4 Nietzsche feared that the world would become nihilistic without God, but he was also ready for the world to move on without God. He hoped that the new age would see the rise of the Übermensch, the overman.
