Miracles, prophecy, immortal souls, absolute morality; all of these fundamental notions were challenged by the increasingly analytical and skeptical approach of modern scientists. One philosopher, Baruch Spinoza, proposed a new theology, rooted in a close analysis of the Bible, which could fit this new science and provide a sound basis for a social order. Spinoza's Radical Theology explains the mechanics and meaning of Spinoza's ideas and how they can inform the questions with which we still struggle today UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/9781844655809/type/BOOK ER -
