- Summary:
- Reassesses Benedict de Spinoza's relationship to higher criticism by drawing attention to the emergence of historical-critical investigations of the Bible during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This work argues that Spinoza's Tractatus was in part a response to Calvinism and to Protestant debates over biblical hermeneutics.
