Synopsis

This book can be said to be an extension of McGrath's previous work The Early Heidegger and Medieval Philosophy. McGrath argues for a clear connection between Heidegger’s Nazi sympathies and his relationship to Christianity.

Reception

Heidegger: A (Very) Critical Introduction was commissioned by the Centre for Theology and Philosophy at the University of Nottingham, the theological think-tank headed by the Anglican theologian John Milbank.[2] It has been reviewed in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Dialog: A Journal of Theology, Religious Studies Review, The Heythrop Journal and Expository Times.[1][3][4][5][6] John Hughes described the book as "one of the clearest and most elegantly written [accounts of Heidegger] I have come across."[7]
