Eric Voegelin'S Israel And Revelation Is The Opening Volume Of His Monumental Order And History, Which Traces The History Of Order In Human Society. This Volume Examines The Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations As A Backdrop To A Discussion Of The Historical Locus Of Order In Israel. The Drama Of Israel Mirrors The Problems Associated With The Tension Of Existence As Israel Attempted To Reconcile The Claims Of Transcendent Order With Those Of Pragmatic Existence And So Becomes Paradigmatic.According To Voegelin, What Happened In Israel Was A Decisive Step, Not Only In The History Of Israel, But Also In The Human Attempt To Achieve Order In Society. The Uniqueness Of Israel Is The Fact That It Was The First To Create History As A Form Of Existence, That Is, The Recognition By Human Beings Of Their Existence Under A Worldtranscendent God, And The Evaluation Of Their Actions As Conforming To Or Defecting From The Divine Will. In The Course Of Its History, Israel Learned That Redemption Comes From A Source Beyond Itself.Voegelin Develops Rich Insights Into The Old Testament By Reading The Text As Part Of The Universal Drama Of Being. His Philosophy Of Symbolic Forms Has Immense Implications For The Treatment Of The Biblical Narrative As A Symbolism That Articulates The Experiences Of A People'S Order. The Author Initiates Us Into Attunement With All The Partners In The Community Of Being: God And Humans, World And Society. This May Well Be His Most Significant Contribution To Political Thought: The Experience Of Divine Being As World Transcendent Is Inseparable From An Understanding Of Man As Human.
