What scholars are reading

Scholars who studied with Eric Voegelin or with his students have posted recommendations for your Christmas reading. I was fortunate to have him as my teacher at the University of Notre Dame and later for a semester when he was a Visiting Professor at the University of Dallas.  His appointment at UD was the result of an attempt to nudge UD’as Politics program out of the grip of students of Leo Strauss. That effort failed and today UD is dominated by Straussians.  In order to understand that conflict, review some of the books we Voegelinians are reading.
