The early modern philosopher Benedict de Spinoza was rejected by the Jewish community of his day, but his thought contains, and critiques, Jewish and Christian ideas. This reinterpretation foregrounds the concept of democracy, showing that Spinoza's theories of the Bible, religion, politics, and philosophy involve a thorough rejection of elitist distinctions.
