Synopsis

True Christian Religion was the last work published by Swedish visionary Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). In it, he summarizes his theological thought and gives his vision for how the Christian church and -- and should -- function in the coming age.

In the second volume, Swedenborg discusses the spiritual necessity of freedom of choice; repentance and how it leads to reformation and ultimately spiritual rebirth; the relationship between faith and Christ as redeemer; and sacraments such as baptism and the Holy Supper (Communion). He concludes with a description of the coming "New Church" which will herald a new age of spiritual understanding for humankind.

This edition is a reprint of a 1914 translation by John C. Ager.

À propos de l'auteur

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, nobleman, and theologian who spent his life investigating the mysteries of the soul. Born in Stockholm to a staunchly Lutheran family, he graduated from the University of Uppsala and then traveled to England, Holland, France, and Germany to study with the leading scientists of the time. Between 1743 and 1745, he began to have visions of heaven, hell, and Jesus Christ, which resulted in a stream of books about the nature of God, the afterlife, and the inner meaning of the Bible. He devoted the last decades of his life to studying Scripture and presenting his own unique theology to the world.
