Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-05 00:00:00 Gary Kowalczyk You know, i get it, i really do. I understand that God is too big for any one gender. I understand that God incorporates in his nature attributes traditionally considered male (provision, protection, power) and female (love, nurture, comfort). I understand that some women go through things that no man could ever understand, like a miscarriage, for example, and need to know that God is not an old guy on a cloud. And, i understand that women have been put down, abused, and shut out by a lot of religious traditions as well as by a male-dominated society. I get it. But, honestly, now, why do we have to say, "God said to God-self" instead of "God said to himself"? Some of this is on the level of changing the name of a "manhole cover" to "person-hole cover". We can get so open minded our brains fall out.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-14 00:00:00 David Batten I have yet to come across a more thoroughgoing, reasonable, fair, and profound treatment of Strauss' intention as a thinker and founder of a school of thought. Whether treating of his relation to the neo-cons, or of the scope, manner, and mode of his philosophizing, Meier elucidates Strauss' political philosophy in such a manner that the individuality and "originality" of Strauss can be seen as nothing more than a wonderfuly lucky gift to those who can benefit from his work for the sake of going beyond both their historical horizons and that which is merely "Straussian." Best of all, though, are the previously unpublished lectures given by Strauss at the end of Meier's book. Reason and Revelation, at least for me, is enormously helpful for working out the conflict between the two insofar as Strauss therein silently provides exceedingly useful escape routes.
