Hardcover. Condition: New. 'When man is in search of God, as in Hellas, the wisdom gained remains generically human; when God is in search of man, as in Israel, the responsive recipient of revelation becomes historically unique.' Nearing the conclusion of the first volume of his monumental exploration of the origins and influences of Athens and Jerusalem on human history and culture, Voegelin pronounces this dictum; yet it is clear from the massive genius behind the thirty years' labor of Order and History that Voegelin was neither denigrating Athens nor absolutizing Jerusalem. No: the work is that of an Olympian intellect in the presence of the Burning Bush, a phenomenon that renders Russell Kirk's judgment that this is ''the most important historical work of our century'' almost an understatement. Volume 2 in the five part series, 389 pp.
