Spinoza's Radical Theology

The advent of modern science brought deep challenges to traditional religion. 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.
