Reviews

"""This magisterial volume, combining long-awaited manuscripts by Strauss himself with commentary by a diverse and international group of scholars, represents a dramatic contribution to Strauss studies."" — Jeffrey A. Bernstein, coeditor of Leo Strauss and Contemporary Thought: Reading Strauss Outside the Lines ""This volume adds a whole new dimension to our understanding of a theme central to Leo Strauss's philosophizing—the relation between religion and political philosophy. Combining unpublished writings by Strauss and interpretations of those writings, Leo Strauss on Religion constitutes a singular contribution to the study of one of the greatest philosophers of the modern era."" — Peter J. Ahrensdorf, author of Homer and the Tradition of Political Philosophy: Encounters with Plato, Machiavelli, and Nietzsche"
