Is there any value in paying attention to your biggest critics?

That question was on my mind when I invited James (Jim) Faulconer to speak with me about his decades-long experience in teaching the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche at a church-sponsored university.

Jim is a senior research fellow at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship and is the former Richard L. Evans Professor of Philosophy at Brigham Young University in Utah, USA.

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.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the longstanding challenge that Friedrich Nietzsche presented to Christians and Christianity.
