This book is the fullest study in English for many years on the role of God in Spinoza's philosophy. Spinoza has been called both a 'God-intoxicated man' and an atheist, both a pioneer of secular Judaism and a bitter critic of religion. He was born a Jew but chose to live outside any religious community. He was deeply engaged both in traditional Hebrew learning and in contemporary physical science. He identified God with nature or substance: a theme which runs through his work, enabling him to naturalise religion but - equally important - to divinise nature. He emerges not as a rationalist precursor of the Enlightenment but as a thinker of the highest importance in his own right, both in philosophy and in religion.

Crossing the Rubicon

Authors: Emmanuel Falque
Categories: Philosophy
Type: BOOK - Published: 2016-06-01 - Publisher: Fordham Univ Press

In France today, philosophy—phenomenology in particular—finds itself in a paradoxical relation to theology. Some debate a “theological turn.” Others disavow theological arguments as if such arguments would tarnish their philosophical integrity, while nevertheless carrying out theology in other venues. In Crossing the Rubicon, Emmanuel Falque seeks to end this face-off.

Is Samuel among the Deuteronomists? Current Views on the Place of Samuel in a Deuteronomistic History

Authors: Cynthia Edenburg, Juha Pakkala

The book of Samuel tells the story of the origins of kingship in Israel in what seems to be an artistically structured, flowing narrative.
