Political Philosophy and the God of Abraham, Thomas L. Pangle,
Baltimore and London: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003, pp. 263In the beginning was Leo Strauss with his trailblazing Platonizing
exegeses of Genesis, “On the Interpretation of Genesis” and
“Jerusalem and Athens.” Strauss begat many strong and
independent minds who commented on the text. Hillel Fradkin and Robert
Sacks were two of the earliest, as was Leon Kass. Kass recently published
a hefty commentary on the entirety of Genesis, The Beginning of
Wisdom (New York: Free press, 2003).
