This book helps the student of Voegelin realize that the primary interest for the reader in his books is not, say, the history of the ancient Near East, nor that of the Polis and the philosophers in Greece, but rather Voegelin himself. To this end, McKnight has appended a thorough bibliography of primary and secondary writings.

This collection of essays contains some of the most thoughtful and perceptive past interpretations of Voegelin's work and some new commentaries on his most recent work.
