Publisher's Synopsis
The True Christian Religion Containing the Universal Theology of The New Church V1 is a book written by Emanuel Swedenborg. The book presents the author's beliefs about Christianity and the nature of God, as well as the teachings of the New Church. It is considered a foundational text of the New Church movement, which is a Christian denomination that emerged in the 18th century. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Christian theology, such as the nature of God, the afterlife, and the role of faith in salvation. The author argues that true Christianity is not about following a set of rules or doctrines, but rather about living a life of love and service to others. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers. It is an important work of Christian theology that continues to influence religious thought and practice to this day.1922. Foretold by the Lord in Daniel VII. 13, 14; and in Revelation XXI. 1, 2. Swedenborg, a noted Swedish scientist, philosopher and theologian, best known for his later writings, in which he presents ideas both Christian and ecumenical, for a new spiritual era or new church to be known as the New Jerusalem. In The True Christian Religion, his last published work, Swedenborg details the universal theology of the new church, and informs mankind that with the advent of the New Church, now it is permitted to enter with understanding into the mysteries of faith. The publication of The True Christian Religion marked the culmination of Swedenborg's dual mission�������to serve as an instrument for the establishment of a new heaven, and a new church on earth. These, he believed, would be established by the Lord alone among those who freely acknowledged His sovereignty and led a good life.
