Orr applies Strauss's own principles of analysis to his pivotal essay "Jerusalem and Athens: some Preliminary Reflections". She reveals Strauss's understanding of religion as more than simply political. Neither an atheist nor a nihilist, he took the possibility of revelation quite seriously.
Leo Strauss dedicated his life to rejuvenating the serious study of political philosophy. But those who study his writings are at odds on the question of what he thought about revelation. By applying Strauss''s own principles of analysis to his pivotal essay ''Jerusalem and Athens: Some Preliminary Reflections,'' Susan Orr reveals that Strauss''s understanding of religion, contrary to what previous scholars have maintained, was more than simply political.
