Baruch Spinoza on Bible - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 234 Bible/Spinoza/Höffe: (...) in chapters 1-15 of the Theological and Political Tractatus(1), Spinoza recognizes "neither a supernatural light" nor "an external authority”. He rejects any expertocracy of the knowledge of faith or salvation, so that any impartial reader, without being a Bible scholar or philosopher, can properly understand Scripture and then come to the insight that the Bible ultimately teaches nothing else than what mere reason alone can see: In order to become happy or to be saved, one only needs to practice justice and charity. >Theology/Spinoza, >Reason/Spinoza, >Bible criticism. 1.
