Voegelin is a tough read but worth it. Readers should be warned that his views do not always easily fit into the categories of Reformed orthodoxy. His views on Scripture were overly influenced by liberal higher criticism and his opinion of Calvin is dreadful. Further, he confused conservative Puritanism with its most radical proto-leftest elements.

With all that in mind, he is certainly worth a good deal of consideration by anyone with an interest in the interaction between Christianity and politics.
