dc.description.abstract	This article investigates the contrasting and often conflicting perspectives in the past and the present on the writings of Spinoza, specifically regarding his theological and biblical research. In the next section it points out how failure to acknowledge his influence affects our understanding of the Enlightenment, and it then discusses reasons why he was marginalised. The final section discusses how his role and influence can be better understood in terms of his social context.	en
