Summary
Friedrich Nietzsche is well known to theology as a critic of religion, but not to the same extent as an ethical thinker. The ambiguity of the »Will to Power« concept enables the identification of a descriptive ethics. This descriptive thinking is part of Nietzsche's critique of Christian morals and of morals in general, but it also shows that the Christian interpretation of power is inevitable in Nietzsche's discourse of criticizing. Thus by using Nietzsche theology can get beyond Nietzsche.
