English commentary: Elaborates that in the first years after the publication of the TTP in the Netherlands, the debate concentrated upon the relation between Cartesianism and revealed theology which focussed mainly on Lodewijk Meyer and payed little attention to Spinoza. From the debate on "prophetic theology" which followed, the publication of Salomon van Til with its critique of Spinoza is given closer attention.
