Baruch Spinoza on Theology - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 234 Theology/Spinoza/Höffe: As a (biblically immanent) interpretation of religious texts theology is responsible for faith, which in turn commits to obedience to God and to a piety determined by justice and charity. >Bible, >Bible criticism, >Hermeneutics. Reason: Natural reason, on the other hand, depends on knowledge, which in turn is committed to eternal truth. >Reason. One can also speak of a double obedience: there against the revealed God, here against the one natural truth. >Obedience. Because both duties of obedience are equal, but different, neither of them is at the service of the other. Neither must reason be abused as the handmaid of theology, nor faith as the handmaid of reason(1). >Reason/Spinoza. 1. Spinoza, Tractatus theologico-politicus, Chap. 1-15_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
