English commentary: From Kap./Chapt. 2: "In the end, we find tat Spinoza's use of the Psalms is selective, as is his use of other portions of the Bible... Biblical Psalms in the 'Tractatus theologico-politicus' thus serve as one of many theo-political weapons Spinoza employs against his adversaries" (p. 27).
From Kap./Chapt. 3: "Simon's method thus suffers from the same pitfalls as Spinoza's" (p. 36).URL: http://Google Books
