Reading Nietzsche certainly helped pull me out of my ardent fundamentalism. If we could just get evangelical colleges to require all their students to read just the first section of Zarathustra, a lot of good would result. Anybody got any contacts at Wheaton, Fuller, or Gordon-Conwell?

Certainly not. But… I can’t help but want to think that they should be required reading for evangelicals. Wittgenstein says something to the effect of, ‘I can’t understand myself until I am able to understand the contempt others have for me’. (Of course, this obviously has to work in both directions…)
