Synopsis

This book delves into the doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church, established by Swedish theologian Emanuel Swedenborg. The author analyzes key tenets, such as the nature of the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the concept of Atonement, and the resurrection of the body, providing a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the church's distinctive beliefs and its alignment with broader Christian traditions. Central to the New Jerusalem Church's teachings is the idea of spiritual enlightenment through the inner meaning of the Bible, offering a profound understanding of God's love and the path to redemption.

The reader will here inquire who brings these accusations against the members of the New Church ;and whether the author, in thus opposing the New Church, has set an example of that rectilinear integrity which he so justly approves. It will be obvious to every one, that those w7ho bring accusations, and especially those of a personal character, against any class of men, should give their own names, and make themselves in all respects responsible for the truth of their statements. In the pamphlet before us, the name of the compiler, the publisher, the printer, and the place of publication, are all omitted. It is said to be the First American Edition ;and from the placing of this at the bottom of the title-page, the only fair inference is, that the whole pamphlet was first
