Publisher's Synopsis
""A Theologico Political Treatise V3"" is a philosophical work written by Benedict de Spinoza in the 17th century. The book is divided into two parts and covers a wide range of topics related to theology and politics. In the first part, Spinoza discusses the nature of God, the Bible, and religion. He argues that God is a natural force rather than a personal deity and that the Bible should be interpreted through reason rather than blind faith. In the second part, Spinoza explores the relationship between religion and politics. He argues that the state should have the power to regulate religious practices in order to maintain social order and prevent religious conflicts. Spinoza's ideas were considered controversial at the time and the book was banned in many countries. However, it has since become a classic work of philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today. This edition of the book is the third volume in a series and includes extensive notes and commentary to help readers understand Spinoza's complex ideas.No reader of the New Testament can doubt that the Apostles were prophets; but as a prophet does not always speak by revelation, but only, at rare intervals, as we showed at the end of Chap. I., we may fairly inquire whether the Apostles wrote their Epistles as prophets, by revelation and express mandate, as Moses, Jeremiah, and others did, or whether only as private individuals or teachers, especially as Paul, in Corinthians xiv:6, mentions two sorts of preaching.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
