Reviews

"It would be difficult to find a more profound and stimulating book covering the whole history and understanding of faith and reason in Western intellectual history.... In so many ways, the correspondence itself... is simply gripping. One has to lack a soul not to realize that here we approach, haltingly, the ultimate things.... The book, in short, is exciting and profound.... This correspondence is a trumpet call from the political philosophers to theologians, scientists, philosophers, and historians to wake up, to attend to the real origins and meanings of the disorders of modernity that have arisen from a failure to understand reason and revelation."-Review of Metaphysics; "Faith and Political Philosophy is an unusual book: not only does in introduce the reader to the highly original and exciting world of Leo Strauss's and Eric Voegelin's thought, the study of which, it is justly claimed, 'is one of the most expeditious ways to explore the core of political science,' but it also provides an intimate glimpse into the personal side of their scholarship."-Muslim World Book Review; "This book serves well to initiate its readers into a lively and provocative exchange between two of the best contemporary political philosophers and their respective legacles."-Canadian Journal of Political Science"
