Presents Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677) as the influential thinker of modernity - and examines the question of whether he was the "first secular Jew." This title presents the origins of the idea of immanence in the culture of Spinoza's Marrano ancestors, Jews in Spain and Portugal who had been forcibly converted to Christianity.
