In the Theologico-Political Treaty Spinoza makes several criticisms of haemorrhagic prophetia: it proved unable to formulate clearly the very simple moral rules necessary for obedience and salvation. These criticisms are also accompanied by a relative apology of Christianity or, more precisely, of its founder, Jésus-Christ. Christ would have succeeded where the entire prophetic tradition had failed before it, that is to say, that he conceived God in an intellectual way and, as a result, managed to enact divine law in simple language, intelligible to vulgar. In this article we offer a comparison between Christ and prophets. First, it will be necessary to see how christic knowledge supersedes prophetic knowledge, and then try to clarify the exact consequences of this epistemological ascendant for Christ.
