In the West, pantheism was formalized as a separate theology and philosophy based on the work of the 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza.[9]:p.7 Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher of Portuguese descent raised in the Sephardi Jewish community in Amsterdam.[20] He developed highly controversial ideas regarding the authenticity of the Hebrew Bible and the nature of the Divine, and was effectively excluded from Jewish society at age 23, when the local synagogue issued a herem against him.[21] A number of his books were published posthumously, and shortly thereafter included in the Catholic Church's Index of Forbidden Books.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3412.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3412.txt
