Allan Nadler heeft vandaag een blog op The Jewish Daily Forward (an American national Jewish newspaper): Spinoza Para Bobos (Spinoza For Dummies). Als u zijn naam in het zoekvenster ingeeft, ziet u dat hij al vaker in een blog voorkwam.
"Spinoza left standing no pillar of traditional Jewish or Christian theology. Given his brazen attack on Scripture and on ecclesiastical authority; his mockery of the “madness” of supernatural religious faith and his insistence on defining God out of any theologically meaningful existence, it is little surprise that, despite various efforts to do so, his herem, or excommunication, has never been rescinded by any traditional rabbinical authorities."
