Political Philosophy and the God of Abraham

Exploring the intersection of rationalist political philosophy and faith-based political theology, this work by Thomas L. Pangle delves into the foundational chapters of Genesis. It contrasts modern rationalist interpretations by thinkers like Hobbes and Spinoza with insights from the Socratic tradition and medieval theologians across Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Through a rich dialogue with historical and contemporary political theologians, the book offers profound insights into the complex relationship between religious faith and philosophical reasoning, appealing to scholars and thoughtful readers alike.
