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.
