"This book must be considered one of the most enlightening essays on the character of European politics that has appeared in half a century. . . . This is a book powerful and vivid enough to make agreement or disagreement with even its main thesis relatively unimportant."—Times Literary Supplement
"Voegelin . . . is one of the most distinguished interpreters to Americans of the non-liberal streams of European thought. . . . He brings a remarkable breadth of knowledge, and a historical imagination that ranges frequently into brilliant insights and generalizations."—Francis G. Wilson, American Political Science Review
"This book is beautifully constructed . . . his erudition constantly brings a startling illumination."—Martin Wright, International Affairs
"A ledestar to thinking men who seek a restoration of political science on the classic and Christian basis . . . a significant accomplishment in the retheorization of our age."—Anthony Harrigan, Christian Century

The amount of material and ideas that Voegelin interacts with in NSP is astounding, and is characteristic of his work. He draws from a multitude of different sources, theories, examples, etc.
However, I do have a word of warning. Voegelin comes from the continental tradition of philosophy and English is not his forst language. This means that the book will not be easy reading for us analytic Americans. I had to start over halfway through the book, but once I did, it was a much smoother and more enjoyable ride.
All in all, this book is worth the money if you are in to political theory.
