1. Dionysus, Christ, And The Death Of God, Volume 1
Nietzsche and the Scandal of Reason
This volume examines the encounter between the Dionysian sacred and the Christian revelation by reading Greek myth, tragedy, and philosophy alongside biblical texts through a mimetic and scapegoat lens. It argues that ancient rituals and dramas both conceal and disclose the mechanism of collective violence, while the Gospel unveils the innocence of the victim and begins to dismantle sacrificial order. Tracing this shift from classical mediation to Christian truth, it outlines the cultural foundations that ultimately lead to modernity’s crisis commonly described as the “death of God.”
