The Antichrist is the most powerful criticism ever offered against modern values and beliefs. In earlier books Nietzsche had announced, God is dead,” and in The Antichrist he seethes with contempt for Christianity’s imposition, upon humanity, of its perverse and unnatural vision.

I think N had started to lose it by the time he wrote this book. Still for sheer intensity of invective this is a fun read. The book is an interesting read from the "masters of suspicion" angle as well, even if as a work of philosophy it's conclusions aren't something lasting.
