Publication |
2015

Abstract

The chapter follows the image of the apostle Paul in Nietzsche's writings in the diachronical perspective from his early to posthumous works (Nachlass). The chapter is build upon similar studies of Jörg Salaquarda and Daniel Havemann and it proves that Paul was for Nietzsche not only a key foe, a figure of ressentiment and an exemplary priest, but also a creative genius who succesfully proceeded a "transvaluation of values" and thus established the new world of values in which we live still today.
