English commentary: Spinoza's doctrine on God in the KV interpreted on the background of reformed scholasticism (Chap. 6) ; examination of the consistency of Spinoza's metaphysics/doctrine of God (Chap. 8.5.): "In terms of modal logic, the philosophy of Spinoza compresses reality within too few modal categories. Theologically, it narrows divine perfection to a necessity of being and acting that compromises both his independence and love. Necessitarianism is no possibility for Reformed thought." (p. 390-391)
