What has been the fate of Christianity since Nietzsche's famous announcement of the "death of God"? What is the possibility of religion, specifically Christianity, thriving in our postmodern era? In this provocative new book, Gianni Vattimo, leading Italian philosopher, politician, and framer of the European constitution, addresses these critical questions. His compelling arguments about secularization as the fulfillment of the Christian message, Nietzsche's thesis as concerning only the "moral god", the postmodern condition in light of Joachim of Fiore's thesis concerning the "Spiritual Age" of history, and the relativity of the "real", pave the way for religion and God to become a serious topic for philosophy again.
