Avoiding a cold rationalist approach, Thielicke
instead investigates the "fruits" of nihilism,
arguing that there are only two possibilities
of belief, namely theism and nihilism.
Thielicke then goes to great lengths to
demonstrate that true nihilism is itself not
possible in action.

This is truly a classic work of apologetics, written
by a master theologian with a brilliant
and perceptive mind. A "must read" for theists,
philosophers, and theologians, but still
accessible to the layman.
