Description
Summary:This article summarizes a number of Spinoza texts relating to his Christology and soteriology based on his Christology. The texts show that Spinoza's Christology underpins his formulation of human nature or the constitution of the essence of the human mind. Considering Spinoza's texts concerning God or Nature, "Christ according to the spirit", the spirit or mind of Christ, and human salvation or blessedness; this article illustrates that given the texts, the study of Spinoza's Christian religion is skewed and ought to be more balanced. The author's reading of Spinoza and its application to his work presented in this article provides a coherent and tenable understanding of Spinoza's efforts "to commend and establish the authentic purpose of the Christian Religion".
