The Oil and the Lamp

A triptych of essays. The Midwife aims to provide lessons in a novel field called sacred obstetrics or the midwifery of God. Its main postulate is that God must be reborn into the world as an antidote to a pervasive cultural nihilism. The Postscript takes up a number of issues explored by Anti-Kierkegaard in The Midwife such as irony indirect communication reflection and the pia fraus. On the other side of the coin in The Euthanist anti-Nietzsche explores the landscape of a fully immanent spirituality after the murder of transcendence.
